In December of 2011, a team of eight consultants authored a report to the Ohio Board of Regents and Central State University titled "Accentuating Strengths/Accelerating Progress (AS/AP)." AS/AP provided a road map for the administration, faculty, and staff of CSU to achieve the excellence it has sought under the leadership of President John Garland. AS/AP made note of Central State's historic value to the state while identifying areas where the university could potentially produce outstanding results--referred to in the report as "Targets of Opportunity." Based on site visits, meetings and conversations with staff, the team of consultants developed the following five Targets of Opportunity. They are: (1) Aggressively pursue more distinct student prospects; (2) Deepen the first-year experience; (3) Leverage science and technical excellence; (4) Balance revenue and performance; and (5) Create an inviting physical environment. For each area listed, AS/AP offered an assessment of Central State's leadership, management, and technical capacity to execute the given strategy. Based upon the recommendations made in the AS/AP report, Chancellor Jim Petro identified several actions whose implementation should commence over the course of the next year in order to satisfy the requirements of Sec. 371 of Ohio Am. Sub. HB 153. The actions were divided into three phases of execution, and a revision to Phases 1&2 action items were sought and approved to better support the implementation of the Plan. This report provides details on the implementation of Phase I actions due on May 31, 2012. [For the addendum to this report, see ED572749.]
