BOG Required Reports
The State University System of Florida has developed three tools that
aid in guiding the System’s future.
• The Board of Governors’ new Strategic Plan 2012-2025 is
driven by goals and associated metrics that stake out where the
System is headed;
• The Board’s Annual Accountability Report provides yearly
tracking for how the System is progressing toward its goals;
• Institutional Work Plans connect the two and create an
opportunity for greater dialogue relative to how each institution
contributes to the System’s overall vision.
Statement of Strategy
UNF is a regional university dedicated to providing intellectual, cultural, and
civic capital for the betterment of Northeast Florida and indeed the entire
