Background: The system bases its strategic actions on assumptions about the condition of macro-environmental elements like government regulations. Some of the considerations for analyzing the Government Environmental Indicator are as follows:

• Legislative constraints on system decisions, e.g. tuition rates, construction plans, contracting, etc.
• Stability of political leadership.
• Availability of state and federal budget resources.
• Other legislative mandates related to matters such as intellectual property, labor regulation, and health and safety factors.
• Regulatory considerations.

The condition of this environmental indicator will be reassessed as legislative proposals emerge and develop. For more information contact: Mary Jacquart, Deputy to the Chancellor for Legislative Policy and Analysis.
