Regents’ Committee seeks feedback on Health Sciences Strategic Plan

The University of Minnesota Regents' Special Committee on Academic Health has received a draft of the Health Sciences Strategic Plan 2024 drawn up by the deans of the University’s six health sciences schools and colleges. 

The plan is a vision of the University's role in the health of the entire state, and the committee is seeking feedback on the plan from the University community. The plan can be accessed online if you didn't receive it your University email. Feedback should be emailed in the next few weeks to both Provost Rachel Croson and Medical School Dean Jakub Tolar. The committee will take another look at the plan in October. 

The plan is important because it will be part of the University's request for funding to the Minnesota Legislature beginning in the January 2025 session. But, keep in mind that this plan is NOT about the future of the Fairview Health Services-University relationship.

—John Finnegan, UMRA liaison to the Regents
