Board meetings and strategic plans from Brown University
This document presents Brown University's proposed operating budget for fiscal year 2020, designed to align financial resources with the University's overarching strategic plan, 'Building on Distinction'. The budget prioritizes academic distinctiveness in teaching and research, fosters a cohesive community, develops financial resources, and aims for operational efficiency. Key investment areas derived from the strategic plan include integrative scholarship, educational leadership, academic excellence, and campus development, with ongoing emphasis on initiatives related to diversity and inclusion.
This document defines the core institutional values and outlines guidelines for the public voice of Brown University. It establishes four core values: the pursuit of knowledge and understanding, academic freedom and freedom of expression, a commitment to openness and diversity of ideas, perspectives, and experiences, and responsibility for a thriving academic community. The Statement of University Voice mandates that public statements or actions intentionally expressing a position must directly advance and defend the University's mission, refraining from unrelated topics to uphold public trust and academic freedom.
This document summarizes the strategic direction for The Institute at Brown. The strategic plan, launched approximately a year prior, outlines four primary goal areas: fostering student success, advancing impactful research beyond the campus, enhancing community engagement, and strengthening the Institute's foundational operations, diversity, and governance. Key upcoming priorities include expanding student internships and professional development, recruiting new faculty, developing a program in sustainable investing and financing, implementing a comprehensive communications plan, deepening student engagement, and launching large-scale research initiatives such as Equitable Climate Futures. The Institute also celebrates its 10-year anniversary.
