"Because Harvard is still the leader in American higher education," Spence writes, "it falls to us to create a viable vision of the research university for the next century and to turn that vision into a reality."
And how will the U.S.'s oldest university "turn that vision into a reality?" By asking for money. An astronomically high amount of money.
Sources have said the goal for the impending University-wide capital campaign will be at least $2 billion. Of that sum, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) is asking for $1 to $1.5 billion.
Spence says that the planning process which led to the development of his eight "key areas of central importance to our future" began about two and a half years ago, before administrators were talking about a new capital drive.
It was only after asking these questions that Spence says he came to the conclusion that FAS needed a major infusion of new funds to maintain its excellence.
