Business continuity planning is essential in prioritizing and recognizing critical business operations and services necessary to be delivered during campus disruption, while maintaining institutional integrity and serving the best interests for the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) community, under difficult circumstances. It is a vital component in creating a resilient community with the capacity to resume campus functions, research activities, and academic instruction shortly after a university-wide disruptive event in the form of natural or man-made catastrophes, large or small.
In the event of a university interruption, UTA Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will assist in response efforts, prioritizing the safety and welfare of the university community. Meanwhile, the intention of the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is to focus on continuing our university operations in support of UTA mission “providing access and ensuring student success, and to a culture of innovation, entrepreneurship, and commercialization of discoveries by our community of scholars.”
Vision
The UTA BCP vision is to promote organizational resilience with preparedness, collaboration, and comprehensive planning.
Mission
University-wide effort to safeguard the continuity of research activities, campus functions, and academic instruction by targeting critical functions within a reasonable timeframe.
