IRC MISSION AND GOALS UNDER REVIEW

 

As a result of the college split,

and because of our need to make final
decisions regarding the IRC facilities
in the new building, a team of consul-
tants has been working with college
personnel on a review of the Mission
and Goals of the Instructional Re-
source Centre unit.

A draft presentation was made by the
consultants at the Management Comm
ittee Meeting of January 19.

At that time, a Mission and Goals
Statement was tabled and given sup-
port in principle by the Management
Committee. This support will allow
for the creation of furnishings and
equipment lists suitable for the
new building, and the new Douglas
College. The actual proposal is
being revised, and will in due
course be presented to the College
Policy and Planning Conmittee for
review and recommendation to the
College Board. This review of the
College Policy and Planning Committee
will relate to the appropriate role
of the IRC within the college. Ad-
ministrative structure and support
is a responsibility of the college
IManagement.

FURNISHINGS & EQUIPMENT BUDGET -
NEW WESTMINSTER PERMANENT SITE

On Tuesday, January 26th, Bill Day,
West Graydon, Terry Leonard and Bill
Morfey presented the final summary
breakdown of the Furnishings &
Equipment requirements of the new
building to senior representatives
of the Ministry of Education.

The list of items required has been
broken down into categories, in

order to facilitate analysis by the
Ministry and Treasury Board personnel.

The financial difficulties being
faced by the government need no elab-
oration. Our requirements will be
looked at most carefully.

The initial reaction of Ministry per-
sonnel was positive. They complimented
the college team on the quality of
analysis and presentation.

Rick McCandless, of the Management
Services Division, has assured me
that our submission will receive the
attention and decision by the Treasury
Board within the near future.

At this time, the Ministry is await-
ing a final detail - that of the
equipment required by the new
Instructional Resource Centre.
