College Mission Statement of the Day --- University of Colorado at Boulder

The Buffaloes have been in the news, so let's take a peek at their "role and mission statement":

The Boulder campus of the university of Colorado shall be a comprehensive graduate research university with selective admissions standards. The Boulder campus of the university of Colorado shall offer a comprehensive array of undergraduate, masters, and doctoral degree programs…”


As an added bonus they have a "vision statement":

“To lead in learning, research, teaching, and service to benefit and enhance the quality of life for the people of Colorado.”


Disappointingly straightforward and devoid of buzzwords. These statements leave me cold. They need to try harder, I expect more from a hippie ski town like Boulder (and no mention of the most famous fictional Boulderite?)
