A University Planning Committee for Science and Engineering has issued a detailed preliminary report outlining a strategy for strengthening science at Harvard. Among the highlights, the report calls for the creation of up to 140 new faculty positions during the next decade, an effort that would require as much as $2 billion to endow. The committee also outlines an expanded role for faculty members in the planning process for science, and envisions new University-wide departments and appointments.
