Plan 2008
Plan 2008 is the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s
ten-year diversity plan. Seven Goals of Plan 2008 are
listed below:
Goal 1 Increase the number of Wisconsin high school graduates
of color who apply, are accepted, and enroll at UW System institutions.
Goal 2 Encourage partnerships that build the educational pipeline
by reaching children and their parents at an earlier age.
Goal 3 Close the gap in educational achievement, by bringing
retention and graduation rates for students of color in line
with those of
the student body as a whole.
Goal 4 Increase the amount of financial aid available to
needy students and reduce their reliance on loans.
Goal 5 Increase the number of faculty, academic staff,
classified staff and administrators of color, so that
they are represented
in the UW System workforce in proportion to their current
availability in relevant job pools. In addition, work
to increase their
future availability as potential employees.
Goal 6 Foster institutional environments and course development
that enhance learning and a respect for racial and
ethnic diversity.
Goal 7 Improve accountability of the UW System and
its institutions.
