- BU Disclosed - A clear understanding of the rules by which Silber ran this university emerges
- The Priority is Profit - Economic return in the student business
- The School of Management vs. The College of Fine Arts - BU’s favorite child versus its whipping boy
- Freedom of Speech on Campus - ...the editors sued the BU administration, and won an out-of-court settlement
- Atmosphere of Fear - "Silber’s managerial style—his latest spat, be it with the faculty or the students—nurtured this atmosphere of intrigue, paranoia, and turmoil."
Gabriel (former dean of the School of Management)
- Mismanagement - Funding to teaching, libraries, and maintenance has steadily declined
- Dirty Hands - "There have been any number of people crawling all over me for admission to our Medical School and our Law School who have never been tapped systematically for a gift to this University. I’m not ashamed to sell those indulgences.”
Silber
- Black Eyes - Controversy after controversy has tarnished BU’s reputation in the city of Boston and in higher education nationally
- Academic Freedom - "We have resisted the official dogmas of radical feminism. …We have resisted the fad of Afro-centrism. We have not fallen into the clutches of the multi-culturists. We recognize that Western Culture, so-called, is in fact a universal culture.”
Silber
- The Legacy of John Silber - His legacy is secured by a handcrafted central administration that will ensure that the corporate ideology he brought to BU guides the university long after the Chancellor himself steps down
- The Administrator's Daily Bread - Packages tied with golden bows: salaries that break records, mansions that make eyes dilate, and slush funds galore
- Faculty Flight - “It is Silber’s management and not his personality, that lies at the center of BU’s storm"
- Sexual Orientation - "[I’m sick of] so-called gay people trying to force their sexual lifestyles down everybody's throats, insisting on turning every meeting into a testimonial on sexual preference.”
Silber
- Environment - This is the largest Federal Environmental action ever taken against an academic institution
