According to David Musolf, secretary of the faculty, the Office of the Provost originally drafted the manuscript.

The document outlines the university's goals for focusing on its core mission, its public purpose and its global research.
""[It] is an outgrowth of the reaccredidation process,"" Musolf said. ""This will be forming the strategic plan for the university for the next 10 years.""
Goals for the next 5 years include reinvigorating the Wisconsin Idea, preparing global citizens and leaders, ensuring a diverse community, strengthening the university's preeminence in research and becoming a model stewardship.
