"There will be a major concerted effort to raise significant new money," Clark says. "I think it's fair to say that in the next few years we will have a large-scale fundraising initiative. Whether or not we will call it a campaign remains to be seen."

Reforming financial aid, improving student facilities and expanding research at HLS are all proposals that will require significant funds to fulfill, according to Mate.

The law school finished its most recent capital campaign in June of 1995, and many of the funds raised went towards enhancing physical facilities at HLS such as Langdell Library.

Clark says that current proposals focus increasingly on student need, such as improvement to student housing, student office spaces and athletic facilities that were highlighted in the McKinsey report.

But administrators say the money and change are worth it because the report and its results prompted students and faculty to talk openly with each other.

"The very fact that we're out there asking questions has changed the environment already," Warren says.

Cooper says although there is not a widespread awareness of STI and its plans among students on campus, there are signs that the law school is engaging in a dynamic discourse.

"I think that people who are involved on campus recognize that there is a moment of reflection and possible change on campus," he says.
