Herbst and Miami President David Hodge explained at the audit and finance meeting that a good deal of the enrollment increases Fingerhut hopes for will occur in community colleges and other non-four-year institutions.
"However, as you look at Miami in terms of retention and graduation rates, there are things making significant contributions to the state of Ohio," Hodge said.
Herbst agreed.
"(Miami's) contribution to improvement may not be high because we're already performing well in the areas where improvement is being sought," Herbst said.
According to Fingerhut's plan, 20 accountability measures have been established to determine how well the University System as a whole is achieving the major goals of the plan. The measures will assess how each institution is improving in the areas of access, affordability and efficiency, quality and economic leadership.
By Dec. 31, presidents of each institution are to submit plans stating how their institution will attribute to the meeting of these objectives.
The board of trustees, after working with a number of university departments, has also prepared two reports to be sent to the University System by Dec. 31.
According to the System's Web site, an Institutional Accountability Report is required to assess the accountability of each state in academic quality and efficiency and sets out estimates on progress toward the plan's objectives over the next five years.
An Institutional Affordability Report will also be submitted, presenting the cost of tuition and fees for the current year and a projection of the expected change over the next two years.
