Operational Excellence is a pathway to developing opportunities that will enhance the university’s mission and fiscal resilience. Through this effort, designated leaders are empowered to take charge of evaluating and implementing changes, with appropriate resources to support those shifts. Through Operational Excellence, the U may improve efficiency, achieve better outcomes for students, save money, and more — any of these results is a success.

Operational Excellence is an ongoing, campuswide effort to improve outcomes for students and research; improve student, faculty and staff experience; and allocate resources toward achieving the U’s mission and vision to be a top 10 public university with unsurpassed societal impact. The Academic Excellence Taskforce, operating through Academic Affairs, is considering ways to improve how critical support services are provided within the College of Humanities, College of Science, College of Social and Behavioral Science and School for Cultural and Social Transformation in the 2024-2025 academic year.
Academic Taskforce Information -
Operational Excellence began in late 2023. It is not a one-and-done project, but rather a permanent pathway toward continuous improvement. As part of this effort, the U has invested in a full-time Operational Excellence Team to support ongoing efforts across campus.
