Indiana University. President. Strategic Directions Charter

The Strategic Directions Charter is an initiative enacted in 1995 by Indiana University President Myles Brand in response to recognition that fundamental changes were underway in the field of higher education. Constituents, including faculty, staff, students, and alumni from every IU campus, chancellors, deans, program directors, members of the IU Board of Trustees, executives in business and industry, school educators, and administrators in state and local government, formed the Strategic Directions Steering Committee and were organized into eight task forces, each in charge of completing a report recommending changes. From these reports, the Strategic Directions Charter was drafted in the fall of 1995, and the final version was widely publicized in January 1996. Both the task force reports and the charter act as dynamic guides for action, which highlight areas for university improvement. In response to these documents, panels of university faculty members were encouraged to create project proposals and to solicit funding for new initiatives or improvements to current programs
