Here is the NB strategic plan as released today and presented to the Board of Governors. I haven't read it.

Some good stuff (I like foreign language requirement) but there are two things it mentions that are not addressed...
- Law, Business, and Medicine lag behind our peers. While the report doesn't make the connection...it's obvious that that has some bearing on donations.
- It looks like we're doing better at getting OOS students- 86% vs what I think was 90%+...but it mentions how our peers are at about 69%...and no mention is made of how to get closer to that or that we even should...which again...hurts the bottom line...
Not sure why these issues are always danced around.

Jeeez - 69% out of staters. That seem extreme for a state with such a large population. Big ten schools are at 60% - thats crazy - but then again - most are large schools in small population states with more grad students.
By the way - I hate those Antarctica map charts (I think they call them spider webs, but they always end up looking like overlaid maps of Antarctica). They add no value over a bar chart showing the same data and in fact are harder to read than a bar chart showing the data.
What the chart and really the whole reports shows well is that RU still hasnt shaken free of its roots as an undergraduate focused liberal arts school, even after five decades of trying.
I'm not sure that rule is in effect.
Some larger state state schools do have lower OOC numbers- Texas, Illinois, UF, the UC schools. But TTFP/Pitt and UVA/VT do not, and those states have more people than NJ.
It doesn't have to be 69%, btw...I think should be around 75% for us.
