That's damned near incomprehensible.
Actually, that is typical edu-speak from a typical edu-crat.

Actually, that is typical edu-speak from a typical edu-crat. Or most any other bureaucratic manger type. Private industry included. Lots of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
I just got done reviewing a (Power Point) presentation made by a contractor to the Army. Pretty much the same thing, lots of management BS, very little technical content. (Partly because 2 years into the contract their system engineering team still doesn't understand (or buy into) the requirements.)
