7.0 Mission Review Funding
The University at Albany has received a
$1,500,000 Mission Review funding award to facilitate changes in and
enhancements to campus mission. This competitive award was based on the
academic merit of Albany’s proposal to:
·
Improve the academic profile of its incoming freshman class;
·
Improve undergraduate selectivity to approach (if not achieve) “Most
Selective Status”; and
·
Enhance the competitive position of the University.
This award is contingent upon the
University meeting the reporting and other requirements detailed in Appendix A.
These reports will enable System Administration to better evaluate the strength
and plausibility of future Mission Review funding proposals.

The University at Albany has
undergone a remarkable transformation into a major research university. From this foundation, the University is both
committed and optimistic about advancing the institution’s programs and stature
to even higher levels in the first decade of the 21st century and
beyond.
This Memorandum of Understanding
was developed jointly by the University at Albany and the State University of
New York System Administration to provide guidance for planning the campus’
future and a framework for gauging the achievement of its goals. Recognizing
that individual institutions and the State University as a whole must be able
to respond to changing circumstances, both the University at Albany and System
Administration will work together to realize the goals and objectives
articulated in this document.
