ANU by 2010
ANU by 2010 is not a traditional plan.
It is based on what we stand for and what we will be by 2010. How we get there is the basis of the ANU College plans – detailed, incremental and building on the substantial progress made in recent times. Council endorsed ANU by 2010 on 28 July 2006.
We embrace this five-year plan with confidence. We know about our performance, and we know about our achievements – our independent, external and comprehensive review told us about them. It also recommended changes – and there have been many.
In particular, in June 2005 the Council endorsed a new set of principles for research, education and collaboration across ANU, in the form of Operational Improvements at ANU. Implementation of this structural and cultural reform is a work in progress, but an important one as we prepare ourselves for the uncertainties of the future.
This is indeed a different type 'plan'.
It is about people, values and aspirations. It is written to influence all that we do. It is written to describe what ANU will be in 2010 and beyond.
It is an important reminder of how we get to be what we are, and what we want to be:
"The reputation of a university depends not on the number of its students or the splendour of its buildings, but on the quality of its members and the nature of its contribution to learning."
J J Dedman, Second Reading Speech, Hansard vol 187, p1567
An ANU that remembers and respects its people is an ANU that can achieve almost anything.
