Performance Management Process

The Performance Management Process is the University’s mechanism for ensuring clarity about University and college priorities and expectations for the year; recognizing and acknowledging progress at all levels; uniting a diverse set of colleges into an integrated University; ensuring University’s Master Plan guides the plans and priorities of the colleges while each retains its own identity, mission, and governance; and introducing and ensuring more accountability into the system.

The PMP has nine objectives:

  1. Strengthen CUNY flagship and college priority programs, and continuously update curricula and program mix
  2. Attract and nurture a strong faculty that is recognized for excellent teaching, scholarship and creative activity
  3. Ensure that all students receive a solid general education and effective instruction, particularly in the first 60 credits of study
  4. Increase retention and graduation rates
  5. Improve post-graduate outcomes
  6. Improve quality of student academic support services
  7. Increase or maintain access and enrollment; facilitate movement of eligible students to and among CUNY campuses
  8. Increase revenues and decrease expenses
  9. Improve administrative services
