Long Range Planning Committee

The Long Range Planning Committee systematically monitors the Bloomington campus environment affecting teaching, research, and faculty status and alerts the Bloomington Faculty Council to significant strategic issues that can be expected to affect faculty interests.

2024-25 Assignments

1. The focus of the long-range planning committee will be to take the General Education Task Force Report (Spring 2024) and explore the following questions for redefining general education at IUB.

• • What is the right mix of GenEd-required credits and academic major requirements?
  • How can the campus incorporate the elements for a First Year Experience from the 2030 Strategic Plan into the Gen Ed requirements?
  • What framework and principles should guide revisions to the general education curriculum?

2. Aligning with the structure of the General Education Committee, the 2024-25 Long Range Planning Committee will be co-chaired by Past-President Colin Johnson and VPUE Vasti Torres. Additionally, Michael Lundell, OVPUE Senior Assistant Vice Provost will serve in an ex-officio role, again aligning with the structure of the General Education Committee. They will be charged with the following:

• • Provide a report that outlines answers to the questions of interest; and
  • Include initial recommendations for each question that should be considered in the next phase of the process.
