  2. West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission The 2007-12 Master Plan: Background • The purpose of the Master Plan is to identify state priories for incorporation into the public agenda. The public agenda will be built upon civic, corporate and community partnerships and articulates opportunities to establish a workforce that is able to compete in the knowledge economy. • This effort focuses on addressing the policy challenges facing West Virginia such as: leaks in the pipeline, the exportation of teachers and engineers, blurring institutional missions, increased student debts, and changing job market needs. • The current policy undertaking (synchronized master planning, funding formula/peer renewal, and accountability) will provide the basis for the public agenda creation.

  3. West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission The 2007-12 Master Plan: Zones of Emphasis • Economic growth:How does the system of higher education in West Virginia contribute to the state’s economic vitality? Can we prepare more West Virginians for successful work and create more work opportunities for our citizens? • Access:How can we make post-secondary education accessible for all West Virginians? How can we give students the skills and information they need to succeed in college and other post-secondary education programs? How can we provide a range of educational opportunities for citizens located across the state and at various stages of their adult and working lives?

  4. West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission The 2007-12 Master Plan: Zones of Emphasis • Cost and Affordability:In an era of tight budgets and skyrocketing costs, how can we ensure that higher education is affordable for West Virginians? • Learning and Accountability:How can we ensure that West Virginians are getting a high quality education that will prepare them for successful working lives with the minimum cost? How can our institutions maximize limited resources? • Innovation:How can we devise innovative programs, partnerships, research initiatives, curricula, and pedagogy to best achieve goals related to access, quality, target fields, cost efficiency, and economic development? How can we put entrepreneurship, research, and partnerships at the service of our overarching goals?
