UAlbany's Mirage Statement

Many of you came together in recent months to brainstorm around and help shape a shared vision for our future.

One outcome of these efforts led by Provost Susan Phillips was a vision statement outlining key characteristics of our University in the future.

You envision a UAlbany:

that is expanding knowledge and transforming minds to shape the future of our community and our world;

that is an increasingly attractive choice for diverse, highly qualified, and highly motivated students;

that provides outstanding education and an excellent student experience;

that sustains and grows research, discovery, and creative work;

that engages in strategic partnerships for educational, scholarly and societal benefit;

that is committed to access, diversity, inclusion, and equity in all we do;

that is recognized for our many strengths and successes;

and that has a strong sense of community, common purpose, and lifelong pride in the University.

A "vision statement" from a university that turns a blind eye to academic dishonesty, faculty ethics violations, sexual assault, and retaliation - written by one of the people who helped drag UAlbany further into the gutter. On second thought, that's not fair - UAlbany does see academic dishonesty, faculty ethics violations, sexual assault, and retaliation, but it chooses to respond to it by ignoring it all or by joining in on the retaliation. Report any of those things to Susan D. Phillips, for example, and she simply wouldn't respond. How visionary of her, eh?
