There will be a corresponding reduction in our staff. Similar efforts are taking place at universities around the country. We also are exploring exciting ways to use new information technologies, like the World Wide Web, to improve teaching and learning. And radical revisions in our engineering and management curricula to meet the needs of a new era are well underway. Increasing effectiveness is one thing we can do.
Specialization is another.
I believe that each college and university should focus on what it does best. There is not enough money for every institution to do everything. We need institutional differentiation. We need to make tough judgment calls and we need to support the most effective programs. This isn't easy.
