The University of Massachusetts
Framework for Excellence
The University of Massachusetts Amherst is fortunate to have excellent faculty, staff, and students, the three critical elements needed to move this institution to the upper echelon of national research universities.
While we already do many things very well, we must work together to achieve our ambitious institutional goals. This document outlines the high-level considerations necessary to move us into the cadre of the most competitive research universities in the nation. It is not a detailed action plan, but rather a framework, with the expectation that campus units will develop their own plans to meet these high-level targets.
