Administrative history
The essential mandates of the University Academic Planning Council included the "reaffirmation of the religious tradition and commitment of Boston College, calling especially for a strong and influential Theology Department, an assertive and effective chaplaincy, and a continuation of the Jesuit presence at existing levels; a continuing commitment to quality undergraduate liberal education, with a renewed emphasis on effective teaching; and a continuing commitment to University status, evidenced by support for professional education, quality graduate programs, and emphasis on scholarship and research.”
President Monan appointed the University Academic Planning Council (UAPC). He became titular chair of the council, and Dean of Faculties Father Donovan became the director of the routine operations of the council and the chair of its meetings. The council consisted of twenty-six members: four administrators; twelve faculty members; and ten students.
UAPC wrote up and published its report. In it, it was recommended that a successor planning committee assist in following up on the recommendations made and in university planning in the future. To fulfill this recommendation, Father Monan instituted the University Planning Council.
