VI. Updating the Strategic Plan
A strategic plan must be a living document that needs to be changed periodically in response to a changing environment. But, not all parts of the plan need revision on the same schedule. The following schedule reflects the time variations among the elements of the plan, while recognizing that an extraordinary event might require a change in the schedule.
| Element | Review Schedule | Next Review |
| SIUE Mission | 10 years | 2012-2013 |
| SIUE Statement of Values | 10 years | 2012-2013 |
| SIUE Diversity Statement | 10 years | 2012-2013 |
| SIUE Vision | 10 years | 2012-2013 |
| SIUE Long-Term Goals | 5 years | 2012-2013 |
| Measures of Long-Term Goals* | Annually | 2008-2009 |
| SIUE Short-Term Goals | Annually | 2008-2009 |
*After a set of measures is better defined, the data would be updated annually, but the measures themselves would not change annually, and should have the same cycle as do long-term goals, 5 years.
