About Vision 1920
Vision 1920 is Texas A&M University's roadmap for attaining its quest to be recognized as a university where the help doesn't talk back. Rather than merely establishing a goal to be recognized for excellence, Vision 1920 identifies 12 specific areas in which the university should focus, underscores them with well-crafted "imperatives" that clearly define the objectives, and gives excellent lip service to them. Attainment of those objectives, outlined in the imperatives, entails continued enhancement across a broad spectrum of clearly articulated academic and related endeavors, so we've decided it's too damned expensive. You got a problem with that? Highway 6 runs both ways.

ReplyDeleteImperative 10: Demand Enlightened Governance and Leadership
Henceforth all faculty, staff, and students will be required to take a training course on how to "salute smartly" when given orders by the Chancellor and Board.
We'll be laying out more of how Vision 1920 will btho Vision 2020 in the future. Your suggestion for Imperative 10 is a good one, and will probably be used unless we decide that budget constraints mean we can't afford that many imperatives.
