Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of articles on academics from the 2011-2012 Annual Report of the Office of the Provost to be published in Inside Fordham, this issue focusing on undergraduate education.
Annual Report of the Office of the ProvostThis report sets out the academic achievements for 2011-2012 as well as the priorities for 2012-2013, which emphasize the vision for a global curriculum, partnerships (in particular, the progression of the Bronx Science Consortium), academic programming, academic financial planning, and faculty capacity and research, among others.
In 2009, the Office of the Provost began implementing integrated academic budget planning, focusing on the alignment of resources with the University’s mission, strategic goals, and assessment. Since then, the Office of the Provost and the academic departments also made significant progress on a broad range of initiatives supporting the University’s strategic vision articulated in Toward 2016, which focus on academic rigor and quality.
