  • The 2007 Strategic Plan
    Choosing to be Great OCTOBER A VISION OF BOSTON UNIVERSITY—PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE— THE UNIVERSITY’S STRATEGIC PLAN NOVEMBER 19, 2007 Contents Foreword by President Robert A. Brown . 3 Our Plan . 5 What We’re Proud Of . 7 Where We Are Today . 14 The Point of Departure . 21 What Remains to be Done . 25 Choosing to be Great . 31 2 | A VISION OF BOSTON UNIVERSITY Foreword I’m pleased to provide some introductory thoughts to this document, which arrives at an important turning point in the history of Boston University. In the winter of 2005, about three months into my term as BU’s president, I set in motion a strategic planning process, aimed at establishing our institutional priorities and enabling us to make wise resource-allocation choices in the months and years to come. That process started with the deans of our 17 schools and colleges asking their respective departments and centers to come up with 15-page descriptions of their places in the world today, and their aspirations for tomorrow. (To avoid boring my readers, I’ll simplify the overall process here.) The deans, in turn, used these collections of mini-strategic plans to create 15-page school-wide strategic plans—a major feat of distillation, for which I commend them and remain grateful. These plans were presented at a University leadership retreat held in April 2006. Several weeks later, after Commencement, I asked a group of faculty members and administrators to serve as a formal strategic plan- ning task force. They were charged, specifically, with thinking about the needs of the University as a whole.

Made possible through the generous support of distinguished donors and alumni, these professorships are presented to promising junior faculty who have been at BU for no more than two years. This fall, we are delighted to announce the award of four such named professorships, two of which will have their first honorees during the 2015-2016 academic year. Endowed since 2006 by BU Trustee Peter Paul, The Peter Paul Career Development Professorship is awarded each year to junior faculty University-wide. The East Asia Studies Career Development Professorship, meanwhile, was launched this past January through the backing of a BU alumnus based in Taiwan and recognizes assistant professors in the College of Arts & Sciences, the College of Communication, the College of Fine Arts, and the Questrom School of Business whose research is specific to East Asia. Both of these awards include a three- year, non-renewable stipend designed to support scholarly or creative work, as well as a portion of the recipients’ salaries.

Dean John I. Sandson presented the M.D. degree to 145 new physicians, a record high number of graduat es. Alasdair Maclntyre, Ph.D., a University Professor of philosophy and political science and chairman of the Philosophy Department at Boston University, told the 102 men and 43 women in the graduating class that there are two ways to be a bad physician: one is by breaking the rules; the other is by keeping them and supposing you have done everything morally required of you. It is not enough, Maclntyre said, for physicians to avoid breaking the "negative, prohibiting moral rules" governing medical practice. Three students were graduated magna cum laude: they were Ellen Black, Lynn Goldstein, and Robert Jackler. Twelve students graduated cum laude. Michael Rafferty was the student speaker. A total of 540 students, parents, and guests jammed the Hiebert Lounge and Solomon Carter Fuller Center dining room for a buffet-style commencement breakfast Sunday morning. Graduate Sheila Trugman received her M.D. degree along with both her brother, Joel Trugman, and her husband, Richard Rudnick. Another graduate, William LoVerme, was the fourth member of his family and a member of the third generation of LoVermes to graduate from BUSM.
