UR 3.11 Long-range planning records, 1984-1987, 1.17 cubic feet

In 1984, the Board of Trustees charged Drexel’s president, William Gaither, with developing a long-range strategic plan for the next ten years.  This collection consists of drafts of the long-range planning report presented to the Board of Trustees in July 1985 and September 1985 and 1986, and in September 1987.  It also includes preliminary drafts, planning criteria, reports prepared by individual colleges and administrative offices, and reports on particular areas such as research and academic programs.  Included with the collection are some additional facilities planning documents from the College of Engineering that resulted from the long-range planning activities and a proposal to establish the Center for Automation Technology.

The collection is partially processed.  A preliminary inventory is available; for more information, contact the archivist at archives@drexel.edu.  Because the collection may contain confidential information, portions are currently restricted pending review by the archivist.  See the university archives’ policy on access to records for further information.
