UPDATE: The session will address the questions raised by the Provost in the Charge to the Four Working Groups on the future of GWU. Below is the Provost's opening message and a link followed by Steele's notional briefing, and actual answers to all questions.
Strategic planning for the next decade at George Washington University is underway, led by the Office of the Provost. A steering committee has been appointed to guide the process, and working committees have been assigned to explore relevant topics. The plan, on target to be finished in Fall 2012, will lay out priorities for a transformational decade culminating in the university's 200th anniversary in 2021.
Our goal in the planning process is to engage the widest possible range of stakeholders, including faculty, staff, students, alumni, and trustees. There are numerous opportunities for stakeholders to offer their views. We welcome your comments. I invite you to learn more about the strategic planning process and to offer your opinions.

Robert Steele's long-standing core premise is that the fragmentation of our academic disciplines and the divide among all sectors of society, is like sand in the gears of a very complex delicate machine. He likes to say “the truth at any cost reduces all other costs.” Needed is a new theory and practice of the craft of intelligence qua decision-support, a unification, integration, and reconstitution of education, intelligence (decision-support), and research, all to the end of creating a Smart Nation. Integrity is central. What is integrity? Join us for a very unusual discussion that will also outline a vision for the future of GWU that is directly responsive to the Provost; that strives to make GWU a Top 10 university in the world; and that will, if implemented, make GWU the hub for a “Smart Nation.”
