Key objectives include strengthening financial health through improved benchmarking, reducing accounts payable and receivable, and aligning debt. It focuses on increasing enrollment across residential, online, dual credit, and master's programs, alongside improving student retention rates. The plan also details efforts to diversify revenue streams, develop new academic programs (e.g., Health Science, Master of Science in Strategic Leadership), and refine existing programs like the Dual Credit AA Degree Track.

The meeting included a report from the CFO concerning the status of the external audit and the ongoing budget preparation, with a student request for greater transparency regarding tuition dollar usage. Old business addressed several curricular decisions endorsed by the President, including modifying math placement criteria, applying the LAB strategy to College Algebra, and reorganizing the Communications and Sports Management majors. The Council approved the Faculty Senate's decision to modify the SPE term length from six weeks to eight, though significant concerns were raised regarding the academic, financial, and administrative implications, and the lack of evidence demonstrating superiority over the current six-week model. The President did not approve the proposed dissolution of the Writing Program, asserting that such curriculum structure changes must originate through faculty academic processes, while supporting a pause on related outcome adjustments. New business saw unanimous approval for combining three existing Ministry degrees into one (Pastoral Ministry) and approving several course catalog changes, including removing courses that had not been taught in over five years, with a recommendation to archive rather than eliminate them. The Council also reviewed updates on the Integrated Planning Matrix, including the status of Quadrennial Reports and Policy & Procedures updates. Announcements covered the Residential Expansion phase one plans, an enhanced Vocational Awareness Fair focusing on vocational calling over job placement, and the confirmed dates for the Fall semester start, including faculty return and student arrival schedules. A significant portion of the SGA report focused on student concerns regarding cafeteria portions and quality, and the need for better communication regarding institutional spending, including dining costs.

The Council reviewed and unanimously approved the Presidential Response concerning delinquent student accounts, which proposes moving directly to withdrawal proceedings as the primary response to delinquency to increase urgency for student support. Old Business focused on permanent modification of Spring Pre-Registration Day to Thursday and a one-year pilot endorsement for an extended Thanksgiving Break. The President also endorsed actions regarding adjustments to English placement criteria, the elimination/archiving of developmental courses (supplemented by re-establishing LAB credits), and modifications to the Sports Management major/minor. New Business included unanimous approval for the Faculty Senate's decision to modify math placement criteria and send it for Presidential Review, alongside approvals for modifying the SPE term length (with noted concerns regarding timeframes and financial aid), reorganizing the Communications major, and adjustments to the Writing Program (including a recommendation to abolish the Writing Center and Writing Program Director position). The Council also paused action on modifying English Comp I and II course descriptions pending resolution on the Writing Program changes. Under the Integrated Planning Matrix, updates regarding Quadrennial Reports noted delays due to criteria revisions and the integration of CANVAS for reporting.
