Compact with The University of Texas System
Fiscal Years 2008-2009
Executive Summary
Our Commitment to Accountability
In 2004, U.T. System Chancellor Mark Yudof called on each component president to develop and submit an inaugural Compact, or written agreement, for fiscal years 2004 and 2005. This Compact was developed in accordance with the health science center's mission and vision with input from senior staff and councils representing students, faculty and staff.
Included here is UTHSC-H's fourth annual Compact covering fiscal years 2008 and 2009. This document lays out completed institutional priorities per earlier Compacts as well as ongoing and new initiatives for the upcoming two year period. This draft was approved by Chancellor Yudof on October 3, 2007.
This is a living document that will allow the health science center to: respond to market forces; increase efficiency, quality, and productivity; and enhance services to students and communities. The institutional Strategic Planning/Compact Leadership Team reviews this document quarterly to ensure that the university stays on target for achieving its priorities. Quarterly meetings for the remainder of FY 2008 will occur in December 2007, March 2008, and June 2008.
This Compact with The University of Texas System belongs to all of us. It is a roadmap that will guide the health science center as it continues to develop and implement a longer term strategic plan. Since its priorities impact the future of our educational, research and clinical programs it is vital to all of us who teach, study, research, and provide administrative support at this institution.
It is our responsibility to implement the terms of the Compact and to achieve the future it envisions. It requires input and support from all of us who are a part of this institution. It is a clear mandate for continuous participation and committed performance. To make the Compact work for each of us will need to:
- Stay informed
- Participate in the process
- Do our best at each of our assignments
- Work with others to achieve our mission and vision with "excellence above all."
