A brief description of how the strategic plan or amendment addresses the environmental dimensions of sustainability:

The selection of Kenneth Winston Starr as Baylor’s 14th president coincided with the latter days of Baylor 2012. Shortly after he took office in July 2010, the regents and senior administration reviewed the University’s foundational assumptions, core convictions, unifying academic themes, and mission statement and determined that these commitments should continue to guide the institution through its next strategic vision. In addition, Executive Vice President and Provost Elizabeth Davis was charged with leading a deliberately open and participatory planning process that would actively engage the University’s multiple constituencies, and result in the production of a new strategic vision to take effect June 1, 2012.

Does the institution's strategic plan or equivalent guiding document include the economic dimensions of sustainability at a high level?:

A brief description of how the strategic plan or amendment addresses the economic dimensions of sustainability:

Stewardship contributes to the quality of life within our community. In addition to caring for existing facilities by addressing deferred maintenance needs, Baylor will continue to improve the physical environment in which we go about our work. While continuing to practice diligent and responsible management of current revenues, Baylor must pursue new and competitive funding sources to support innovation in teaching and scholarship. We are called to be accountable for the stewardship of our financial, physical, and human resources.
