OCN. You say the U of S has been sheltered. Do you think that will always be the case? BF: We don’t know the future but my hope is that we’ll continue to be exposed to moderate demands and expectations from the external public. What’s also nice about that is that when the pace of change is a little bit more moderate, we are in a position to be more deliberate and take our time to think about things. There are things we do under financial pressure but there are things we can also take the time to think about and do right.

OCN. So there are risks and benefits to change. How do you think about it? BF: I’m certainly focused on potential. When I think about change, it has mostly positive associations for me so that excites me. That’s partly because I have great faith in our community to protect the things that shouldn’t change. We have lots of people in whom the values of the university are really strong. If you trust the people and the values, I think you can be really positive about the oppor- tunities that change brings.
OCN. Can you talk a bit about the role of leadership during times of institutional change? BF: The leadership piece is critical. Leadership is more demanding and is changing in this environment. The basic functions and roles aren’t changed from what they were before – deans are still account- able for what they were account- able for previously – but in a time of change, there’s a lot more weight on that role. Often I think people in leadership roles have to dig deeper and come up with more creativity, with more inspi- ration, with more persuasion in order to help keep everything working the way it needs to.
OCN. Is there anyone un- touched by the kinds of change we’re seeing at the U of S?
