Moore and Stossel noted that the University Planning Council has been reconfigured and is now a smaller group that has been charged to create a new strategic plan for 2020–25. The plan's focus will be on creating a student-ready university and finding ways to improve streamline processes to ensure that students as well as faculty and staff members can be successful.
