Adaptation to growth, which increases both quality and efficiency, requires multiple strategies. Our future depends on finding the right strategies and following them with determination. Guided by the above principles, we have made a first attempt. Some of our strategies reinforce current directions that maintain the best of what we are, others respond to changing conditions in the educational environment, and all are linked in complex ways. How each strategy should be played out requires thought and wide discussion. When we had ideas, we made recommendations for action, even though none of us agreed with everything.
| Strategy I | Create a Compact of Shared Responsibility between the University and our partners in education to provide quality education to the next generation of Washington students. | |

| Strategy III | Invest selectively in academic programs, faculty and staff, to ensure growth with excellence. | |
| Strategy IV | Evolve the three campuses of the University of Washington into an integrated educational system based on the principle of complementarity of programs and functions. | |
| Strategy V | To improve quality and increase efficiency, invest in students by developing new partnerships with K-12 and community colleges to insure students are ready for University study. | |
| Strategy VI | Invest in students by removing barriers to learning and progress to graduation. | |
| Strategy VII | Use educational technology to transform teaching and learning for access, quality and efficiency. | |
