Board meetings and strategic plans from Bard College
The Executive Summary outlines Bard College's strategic direction, focusing on its long-range outlook and future prospects over the next fifteen years. Key priorities include maintaining an unusually low student-faculty ratio with an emphasis on seminar and tutorial instruction, nurturing a climate of intellectual idealism by integrating progressive and conservative liberal arts, and continuing its unique investment in the centrality of the arts. The plan also aims to expand novel international programs, strengthen teaching in literature and language, and capitalize on its opportunity to play a leadership role in undergraduate science teaching. Additionally, it seeks to innovate general education, integrate public service with classroom learning, support pre-college education initiatives, sustain the Levy Economics Institute, and continue its role as a prominent arts-presenting institution. The overarching vision is to achieve self-sustaining excellence, becoming a nationally and internationally recognized institution that serves as a model for public engagement in the arts and national discourse, effectively blending the strengths of a college and a university.
The faculty meetings covered diverse institutional topics including presentations on support for students with learning disabilities, faculty memorial statements, and reports on university accomplishments. Key discussions focused on tenure procedures, curriculum development and reform—specifically regarding the First-Year Seminar—and financial planning amidst an economic downturn. Administrative reports provided updates on campus construction projects like the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, student enrollment trends, and the implementation of new career development initiatives. Committees reported on grievance procedures, the integration of new faculty housing policies, and strategies to address the impact of the USA Patriot Act on academic and student records.
The meetings covered a wide range of academic and administrative topics, including the election of Senate leadership, updates on the Data Analytics concentration, and discussions regarding Intellectual Property policy. Key initiatives included the creation of an Artificial Intelligence committee, proposals for a programmatic 'second focus' for students, and updates to the faculty sabbatical policy. Additionally, the Senate discussed enrollment trends, faculty evaluation documents, course capacity guidelines, and financial planning updates provided by the CFO, including capital projects and budget strategies.
