It is important to develop procedures to ensure that the results of reviews are introduced systematically into planning and budgeting at multiple levels. To accomplish this, CSU utilizes a two-pronged strategy involving the engagement of those individuals with direct and indirect responsibility for overseeing implementation.

Immediately following the submission of review findings to the Provost, the Provost will initiate a series of meetings with the Department Chair or Director, Dean, and Vice Provost for Academic Planning, to develop a memorandum of agreement clarifying steps for follow-up and assignment of responsibility for each planned activity. The purpose of these meetings, which will culminate in a written Implementation Agreement, will be to

1. Create an opportunity to clarify expectations regarding the outcome of the review
2. Discuss potential links between the review findings and decision making in the future
3. Identify strategies that allow the conclusion of the review to be used fruitfully at the department, college, and campus level
