STATE OF THE UNIVERSITY
During his State of the University address last week, Northwestern President Henry S. Bienen fields a question from an Evanston staff member. The talk, presented only on the Chicago campus, was Webcast for Evanston viewers. Audience members in both locations asked questions regarding grade inflation, staff benefits and campus expansion plans, among others. See page 4 for the complete text of the President’s talk.
