Abstract

As higher education's environment is characterized by shortages of students, financial support, and institutional confidence, the desirability of academic planning has increased.

Desired characteristics of the academic planning process are discussed, including assessment of fundamental values and assumptions, clarification of short-range objectives, the importance of data collection, the determination of institutional priorities and strategies for implementation, and the value of a continuous and open planning process.
