Excellence. Artistic excellence and excellence in the discipline. Balance/tension between excellence and broader “liberal arts” focus. Balance between professional/disciplinary focus (training, accomplishment, recognition) and other educational goals for students. Connection to whole artists/whole student theme (below). Excellence for the University—a need for literacy in the arts across BU (sciences, social sciences, and then the arts. “Universe” in university.)
