Furthering State Goals. As required for all public institutions of higher education of the Commonwealth by subsection B of § 23-38.88 of the Code of Virginia, prior to August 1, 2005, the Board of Visitors of the University adopted the resolution setting forth its commitment to the Governor and the General Assembly to meet the State goals specified in that subsection B. In addition to the above commitments, the University commits to furthering these State goals by: 1. In addition to its six-year target of achieving about $161.8 million in external research expenditures by 2011-12, the University commits to match from institutional funds, other than general funds or tuition, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, any additional research funds provided by the State in the Appropriation Act above the amount provided from institutional funds for research in 2007-08. 2. Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) is committed to improving retention and graduation rates, without changing its core mission of access. The University has a diverse student body, a large number of whom are first generation college students and many of whom work in addition to attending college. Major investments have recently been made in initiatives like the University College, which provides intensive advising and academic support for all first year students, and the VCU Compact, a university-wide academic experience for first year students that provides the foundation for lifelong learning and success. The University has also approved a Core Curriculum, providing a common set of general education courses required for all University undergraduates. These efforts are designed to positively impact freshman retention rates, which have steadily improved from 73.5 percent for the fall 1998 freshmen to 82.3 percent for the fall 2006 cohort. As these efforts continue, VCU expects freshman retention rates to increase further, reaching about 85 percent by fall 2010. These efforts are also designed to improve the University's six-year graduation rate, although the major impact of these fundamental improvements will not be seen immediately. Graduation rates are improving, from 40.8 percent for the cohort of first-time, full-time freshmen entering in the fall of 1998 to 45.2 percent for the cohort of freshmen entering in the fall 2000. As the first cohorts of freshmen benefiting from the University College and the VCU Compact progress, six-year graduation rates should reach 50 percent for the cohort of first-time, full-time freshma...
