To meet the challenges before us and strengthen our position as one of the world’s premier academic institutions, the university will need to construct processes and mechanisms that empower informed and considered decision making; increase capacity for data generation, aggregation, and analysis; and allocate resources in a manner that aligns with our principles and mission.

Since the original Ten by Twenty, the university undertook a range of such initiatives, in areas such as sustainability, combating sexual assault, cross-university branding, and the history of the university. We also undertook a comprehensive self-study, a singular opportunity for reflection and assessment across the university. As we move forward, our polestar must continue to be programs and processes that adhere to best practices, prioritize self-evaluation and informed decision making, and safeguard our commitments to innovation and excellence.
