Directions of the European Commission on Education and Training
• Research should remain a key task of the systems as a whole, but not necessarily for all institutions.
• The proportion of graduates who have spent at least one term or semester abroad or with experience in industry should at least double.)
• Reorganization of the university away from disciplinary departments and into units reflecting research and teaching themes
• Provide incentives for structured partnerships with the business community.
• University programs should be structured to enhance directly the employability of graduates and to offer broad support to the workforce more generally.
• Enhance interdisciplinary research and teaching
• Reward excellence at the highest level….
Office of the President
Changing the Paradigm• Programs on-campus the same as off-campus
• Freshman year as a time for “exploration”
• Reduced loads for freshmen
• Large numbers of degree and course options represents a healthy curriculum
• The only pathway to a degree is through the classic liberal arts/academic major
• All instruction should be delivered by tenured faculty
