Barchi promises not to go it alone, instead soliciting stakeholder input every step of the way
By Tara Nurin
Robert Barchi, the president of Rutgers University, wants to give the school something it hasn’t had in almost two decades: a long-term strategic plan. His ultimate goal, as he told the audience at a town hall meeting on the Camden campus yesterday: make New Jersey’s primary public institution of higher education one of the best in the United States.
For the moment, though, Barchi is at square one.
At the first of five initial public comment sessions, Barchi stressed that his plan will be shaped by stakeholders at every stage. His team will seek to identify eight areas where Rutgers can differentiate itself from other universities and build on its strengths to eventually reach the top tier of schools that comprise the Big Ten conference.
