- Abstract
- Ray Bacchetti, Vice President for Planning and Management, Emeritus, was an administrator at Stanford from 1963 to 1993. In this interview he talked first about his upbringing and his early administrative career while pursuing a Ph.D. at Stanford’s School of Education. He became an Assistant Provost in 1968 and assumed increasingly broad and influential positions in the President and Provost’s Office for the next 25 years. He discussed Stanford’s system of budgeting and financial management in some detail, including topics such as tuition setting, periods of significant budget cutting, endowment policies, restricted funds, and indirect cost recovery. Other topics covered in the interview included diversity and affirmative action, undergraduate financial aid, the Management Development Program, higher education management and administration, EST (Erhard Seminars Training), Stanford leadership, and his receipt of the Kenneth M. Cuthbertson Award. When his Vice President position was eliminated, he spent the next eight years at the Hewlett Foundation as the Education Program Officer, and also worked at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. He also discussed some of his extensive community service including on the Palo Alto School Board. His perspectives on Stanford as a great institution were informed, philosophical, and modest.
