COVID-19 PANDEMIC THE OUTBREAK OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS CAUSED DOMESTIC AND GLOBAL DISRUPTIONS IN OPERATIONS FOR INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION. TO PROTECT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY IN THE 2020-2021 ACADEMIC YEAR, COURSES WERE PRIMARILY DELIVERED ONLINE AND ONLY VERY LIMITED ON-CAMPUS HOUSING WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE 2020-2021 ACADEMIC YEAR. ADDITIONALLY, THE UNIVERSITY INVESTED IN COVID-19 TESTING CENTERS, PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR ESSENTIAL STAFF AND UPGRADES TO UNIVERSITY FACILITIES. THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC WAS MITIGATED BY A TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE RETIREMENT PLAN, EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION REDUCTIONS, A ONE-WEEK FURLOUGH FOR ALL FACULTY AND STAFF AND CAREFULLY CONTROLLING ALL UNIVERSITY SPENDING. THE UNIVERSITY ACHIEVED ITS GOAL OF RETURNING TO FULL IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION AND RESIDENTIAL EXPERIENCES FOR THE FALL 2021 SEMESTER, WHILE PROMOTING THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY, PROGRESSING OUR EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH MISSION, AND SUPPORTING THE BROADER RESPONSE TO COVID-19 IN THE DC REGION. AS OF JUNE 30, 2021, THE UNIVERSITY EVALUATED ITS ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES FOR ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE IMPACTS OF THE PANDEMIC. WHILE THIS EVALUATION DID NOT RESULT IN A MATERIAL EFFECT TO THE UNIVERSITY'S CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2021, FUTURE EVALUATIONS COULD RESULT IN A MATERIAL EFFECT DEPENDING ON THE EVENTUAL IMPACT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PANDEMIC IN FUTURE PERIODS. AMERICAN UNIVERSITY STRATEGIC PLAN IN JANUARY 2019, AMERICAN UNIVERSITY UNVEILED A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN, CHANGE MAKERS FOR A CHANGING WORLD. THE PLAN REPRESENTS AU'S COMMITMENT TO ITS MISSION "TO ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE, FOSTER INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY, BUILD COMMUNITY, AND EMPOWER LIVES OF PURPOSE, SERVICE, AND LEADERSHIP." THE UNIVERSITY'S FIVE-YEAR PLAN WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUES FACING OUR COMMUNITY AND HIGHER EDUCATION, WHILE BUILDING ON OUR LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP, SCHOLARSHIP, AND SERVICE, AND BOLDLY EMBRACING OPPORTUNITIES FOR GREATER IMPACT. IT INCLUDES THREE CENTRAL THEMES - SCHOLARSHIP, LEARNING, AND COMMUNITY - WITH NINE STRATEGIC IMPERATIVES TO GUIDE AU'S PROGRESS: SCHOLARSHIP: SCHOLARSHIP IS CENTRAL TO AU'S FUTURE. WE WILL DEVELOP AREAS OF STRATEGIC FOCUS THAT DRAW ON FIELDS WHERE AU ALREADY EXCELS, WHERE OUR EXPERTISE CROSSES SCHOOLS AND DISCIPLINARY BOUNDARIES, AND THAT HOLD PROMISE FOR THE FUTURE. WE WILL ESTABLISH NEW WAYS TO SUPPORT THE WORK OF FACULTY ACROSS A RANGE OF DISCIPLINES. LEARNING: LEARNING IS AT THE CORE OF AU. AS WE PREPARE FOR TOMORROW'S OPPORTUNITIES, WE CONTINUE TO EMBRACE THE HIGHEST-QUALITY TEACHING, WHILE EXPLORING NEW FRONTIERS OF LEARNING AND SCHOLARSHIP. WE WILL EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIFELONG LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT ARE MORE FLEXIBLE, PERSONALIZED, AND ACCESSIBLE. COMMUNITY: AU IS AN INSTITUTION DEEPLY ROOTED IN COMMUNITY - LOCALLY, NATIONALLY, AND GLOBALLY - AND WHEN OUR COMMUNITY GROWS STRONGER, SO DO WE. OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, OUR STRATEGIC EFFORTS WILL EXPAND AND STRENGTHEN OUR TIES TO COMMUNITIES, BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL. EACH OF THE NINE STRATEGIC IMPERATIVES OUTLINED IN THE PLAN INCLUDES SPECIFIC ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN YEARS ONE AND TWO, FOLLOWED BY AREAS FOR EXPLORATION IN YEARS THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE. THE PLAN ALSO INCLUDES FOUR OUTCOMES FOR MONITORING SUCCESS: IMPROVING RETENTION AND GRADUATION RATES, ACHIEVING OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE, ENHANCING AU'S REPUTATION, AND DIVERSIFYING AND GROWING REVENUE.
