  2. Define a System Administration approach to a service culture that is modeled by the System Administration and support campus and institute strategic goals with services, information and data.

  3. Implement Employer of Choice standards across the UT System.

  4. Create a “culture of communication” throughout the UT System through an improved internal communications program—both between the System and the campuses and institutes and the campuses and institutes with each other—that regularly informs the UT community about System goals, processes and services through multiple channels.

  5. Collaborate with campuses and institutes to define the facilities and space necessary for an environment of excellence in research, education and outreach.

  6. Identify and promote compelling opportunities for continued and expanded investment in the various entities of the UT System by the federal, state, county, industry and philanthropic communities.

  7. Extend diversity initiatives throughout the System for faculty, staff, students and cultural/community life.
