A READINESS GUIDEBOOK FOR CAMPUS LEADERS

Making Value the Strategy:

Infusing the Postsecondary Value Framework Into Strategic Planning

AASCU, ©2025

Assess campus readiness for integrating the Postsecondary Value Framework in your strategic plan.

The Postsecondary Value Commission’s Postsecondary Value Framework (PVF) helps institutions identify and remove barriers that prevent students from realizing the value and economic and social mobility associated with receiving higher education credentials. Specifically, the PVF works to enhance access, affordability, support, completion, earnings, and wealth for all students.

Five AASCU institutions were competitively selected for the Strategic Planning Collaborative and participated in spring 2025. Two senior consultants with AASCU Consulting
facilitated processes on all campuses allowing campus leaders to develop strategic plans around the PVF or to embed the PVF into existing strategic plans. AASCU Consulting supported and facilitated processes and served as the connective tissue between the PVF and participating institutions. The original Postsecondary Value Commission’s “Ensuring Equitable Postsecondary Value: An Action Agenda,” published in 2021, served as the foundation for this Strategic Planning Collaborative’s initial work.
