      Sec. 10a-9. Development of planning, budgeting and management information system. The Board of Governors of Higher Education established pursuant to section 10a-2, in consultation with the Office of Policy and Management, the constituent units and others as appropriate, shall develop a comprehensive planning, budgeting and management information system for public higher education. The Department of Higher Education shall develop a three-part planning process which shall consist of the following elements:

      (1) Five-year operating plans updated annually, which shall be based on an assessment of state and local educational needs, projections of costs and revenues, state-wide and regional enrollment patterns, full and part-time student mix, program demand and such other factors as may be appropriate. The board of trustees of each constituent unit shall collect and provide data for each institution under its jurisdiction and shall assess such information for use in the development of the five-year operating plan and its annual updates.

      (2) Five-year facility and capital plans, updated annually, which shall be based on ten-year demographic and fiscal trends and the educational requirements of the system including the utilization of existing facilities and the need for new facilities. The board of trustees of each constituent unit shall submit to the Board of Governors of Higher Education a prioritized list of capital projects based on the facility planning and capital expenditure needs of the institutions under its jurisdiction, to be reviewed and included, with such recommendations as may be made by the board of governors, in the five-year facilities and capital plan.

      (3) Criteria which shall identify, and a special plans procedure which, on consultation with the institution and constituent unit involved, shall resolve serious organizational and operational weaknesses at an institution within the state system of higher education.
