It also affirms York\u2019s mission, values, aspirations and vision. Normally renewed every five years, the contents of the UAP are determined through an intensive consultation process that engages faculty members, students, staff, and alumni. Readers of the plan will see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>clear expressions of York\u2019s mission, make-up, mandates, abiding strengths, emerging innovations, and social responsibilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>strategic aspirations and pathways to their realization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> challenges and how they will be addressed and overcome<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> opportunities and how they will be assessed and embraced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The UAP is organized around priority areas that are highly integrated. Each priority area icludes constituent objectives that identify tasks and commitments while providing a way of measuring progress. Quality is always an overarching theme and an animating imperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does York need a University Academic Plan?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning has played an important role in York\u2019s history. The University was an early adaptor to academic planning. Coming out of a Task Force on Academic Planning, the Academic Planning at York (APAY) report established an annual planning cycle for the University and defined the linkages between academic and budgetary planning. The APAY report was approved by Senate in 1985. As required under the new APAY framework, the first University Academic Plan was developed and approved by Senate in 1986.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>2026-2030 UAP Renewal<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>UAP Consultations <\/strong><em> <\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/secretariat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/107\/2026\/04\/Forum-Invitation-20260421.pdf\">Open Community Forum, April 21, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/secretariat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/107\/2026\/04\/UAP-Draft-April-2026-for-consultation.pdf\">UAP Draft April 2026 for consultation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senate Committee and Faculty Council Consultations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual Submissions: <a href=\"mailto:senate@yorku.ca\">senate@yorku.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Background Documentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Core Documents<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/secretariat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/107\/2020\/12\/UAP-2020-2025-Final-1.pdf?x35834\">UAP 2020-2025<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/secretariat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/107\/2025\/11\/2020-2025-UAP-Retrospective-FINAL.pdf\">2020-2025 UAP Retrospective Report<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/secretariat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/107\/2023\/10\/Strategic-Research-Plan-2023-2028.pdf\">Strategic Research Plan 2023-2028<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/forward\/\">Forward Action Plan<\/a> (PPY)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/secretariat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/107\/2025\/11\/Internationalization-and-Global-Engagement-Strategy.pdf\">Internationalization and Global Engagement Strategy 2023<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/secretariat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/107\/2025\/11\/Task-Force_final-report_December-20-2023.pdf\">Final Report of the Joint APPRC-ASCP Task Force on the Future of Pedagogy<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supplemental Documents<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/presidentsreport\/\">President's Report<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/bam\/\">Budgets and Asset Management<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/unsdgs\/reports\/\">UN Sustainable Development Goals Report<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/abr\/framework\/\">Framework to Address Anti-Black Racism<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/indigenous-landing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/817\/2025\/08\/Indigenous-Framework-for-York-University-A-Guide-to-Action.pdf\">Indigenous Framework<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/unit\/pvpa\/py-community-area\/\">SMA3<\/a> (now SMA4)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/dedi-strategy\/\">DEDI Strategy<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the University Academic Plan?
