    Stanford University Budget Plan 2017/18

    STANFORD UNIVERSITY STANFORD UNIVERSITY BUDGET PLAN STANFORD 2017/18 BUDGET PLAN 2017/18 Approved: This Budget Plan was approved by the Stanford University Board of Trustees June 14–15, 2017. This publication can be found at: http://www.stanford.edu/dept/pres-provost/budget/plans/plan18.html STANFORD UNIVERSITY BUDGET PLAN 2017/18 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY To The Board of Trustees: It is a pleasure to submit my first Budget Plan as Stanford’s provost. This budget maintains our university’s pre-eminent academic and research programs. It calls for selective investments in high priority areas. It also strengthens our financial base, thereby providing the foundation for the strategic initiatives expected to emerge from the Long Range Planning process. Our approach in developing the 2017/18 Budget Plan has been a cautious one. Slow growth in endowment payout and uncertainty around government sponsored research have created a planning context in which we have reduced the growth of new program investment compared to recent years. At the same time, we have increased our financial reserve position should external funding conditions deteriorate. We are confident this budget both furthers Stanford’s programmatic objectives and maintains a strong underlying financial condition. This document presents Stanford’s 2017/18 Budget Plan for Trustee approval. The Budget Plan has two parts. The first is the Consolidated Budget for Operations, which includes all of Stanford’s anticipated operating revenue and expense for next year. The second is the Capital Budget, which is set in the context of a multi-year Capital Plan. The budgets for Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children’s Health, both separate corporations, are not included in this Budget Plan, although they are incorporated into the university’s annual audited financial report.

    Co-Operative Living at Stanford a Report of SWOPSI 146

    CoopAtStan-28W Weds May 16 7:00 pm Draft Only — Draft Only — Draft Only Co-operative Living at Stanford A Report of SWOPSI 146 May 1990 Preface This report resulted from the hard work of the students of a Stanford Workshops on Political and Social Issues (SWOPSI) class called “Co-operative Living and the Current Crisis at Stanford.” Both instructors and students worked assiduously during Winter quarter 1990 researching and writing the various sections of this report. The success of the class’s actions at Stanford and of this report resulted from blending academics and activism (a fun but time-consuming combination). Contributing to this report were: Paul Baer (instructor) Chris Balz Natalie Beerer Tom Boellstorff Scott Braun Liz Cook Joanna Davidson (instructor) Yelena Ginzburg John Hagan Maggie Harrison Alan Haynie Madeline Larsen (instructor) Dave Nichols Sarah Otto Ethan Pride Eric Rose (instructor) Randy Schutt Eric Schwitzgebel Raquel Stote Jim Welch Michael Wooding Bruce Wooster ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people who contributed to this final report and the resolution of the Co-op crisis. Although we would like to mention everyone by name, it might double the length of this entire document. Our everlasting thanks go out to everyone who contributed. Especially Leland Stanford for having his co-operative vision, the SWOPSI Office for carrying it on and providing the opportunity for this class to happen, Henry Levin, our faculty sponsor for his help with the proposal process, Lee Altenberg, whose tremendous knowledge of Stanford co-operative lore is exceeded only by his boundless passion for the co-ops themselves; the Co-op Alumni network, the folks at the Davis, Berkeley, and Cornell co-ops, NASCO, and all of the existing Stanford co-ops for their support during this entire process.

    Stanford Anti-War and Justice Movements (1966-1969)

    DISORIENT YOURSELF NOW! “A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” –Margaret Mead The history of Stanford University contains many parts. The purpose of this guide is to tell a part of the story and our history that isn’t often heard. As Stanford students, we are often told that we can change the world and make it a better place, if we try hard enough. Well, we can also make Stanford a better place. The history of student activism at this school is incredibly rich. As students, we have a degree of power and that power can be (and has been) used to lead to positive change, both on our campus and in the local community. In the classroom, we are taught about the importance of critical thinking and the power of analytical tools. It is impor- tant to apply this critical thinking to our own environment, just as students before us have done. The Disorientation Guide (as it was previously called) was originally published in the 1990s up until 2005 (copies of some of the old guides can be found in El Centro Chicano). Formerly disseminated during NSO, the guide presented another side of Stanford that wasn’t typically discussed by the larger Stanford community. The Re- orientation Guide is meant to serve a similar purpose; in this guide you will find concrete examples of change and activism driven by Stanford students. We hope you find these stories 2 The Reorientation Guide 2009-2010 thought-provoking, interesting, and inspiring.
