Did You Know?

Some of the features LAUers enjoy today as a given—shared governance, coeducation, a modern liberal arts core—were set in motion in the early 1970s as part of a set of innovative reforms spearheaded by President William S. Schechter. He established a student council, court, and parliament, and an Executive Council representing all campus stakeholders. “All college personnel, including students and staff seemed ready and more than willing to experience grassroots democracy for the first time in their lives and the first time in the life of the institution, I gathered,” Dr. Schechter recalled many years later. He is also remembered for leading BCW’s transformation into the coeducational BUC, endorsing the creation of a women’s institute, strengthening the liberal arts program, and instituting the college’s first systematic fundraising program, among many other changes.
