Board Receives Annual Reports

The University of Windsor report, "Annual Highlights 2000-2001" and the "Best of Both Worlds Update 2000-2001" were presented to the Board of Governors yesterday by President Ross Paul. ~

Dr. Paul noted that the Annual Highlights has been widely circulated to prominent alumni, donors and others in the community and the province, and to universities across Canada.

Dr. Paul said the other document, the update of the strategic blueprint BOBW, has a similar design because it is related but reiterates 10 top strategic directions and is more of an accountability document, listing achievements of 2000-2000, top ten strategic directions 1999-2004, and a seven-point action plan for 2001-2002.

In summary, the president reported the university has had "another really good year by many indicators." He said some of the things that the university originally set out to improve, such as research support, are beginning to bear fruit, and noted the enrolment situation has dramatically turned around.
