MISSION/OBJECTIVE STATEMENT AND PROJECT PLAN FOR THE
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW STEERING COMMITTEE

 

  
 
 

The Review Committee is cognizant that its mission is to detail the
existing administrative structure and function, to analyze the data

to determine its assets and needs, and to make recommendations to the
College President in an effort to improve administrative effectiveness
at Douglas College. With this in mind, the Committee will
"operationalize" the followina assumptions:

 

1. A. The scope of the review will include all administrative units
and administrative committees within the College administrative
structure.

B. The focus of the review will be the processes and relationships
inherent within a broad definition of administrative/management
functions, and will include an examination of:

) Unit Objectives

) Scope of Unit Operations

) Unit Organization

) Inter/Intra Unit Processes

C. The Committee will provide an opportunity for all interested
constituents within the College community to be heard in
written form and/or at pre-determined Committee meetings.

2, Within this broad framework, Committee members are cognizant of
several fundamental responsibilities inherent in their participation:

A. Committee members are sensitive to any fears that College
personnel may have that the review process may adversely affect
careers. The Committee members, therefore, wish to assure
College personnel that, in keeping with the assumption stated in
1.8., the review process is not designed as a means of assessina/
evaluating individual effectiveness or efficiency.

B. Committee members will seek an objective appraisal, notina hoth
strengths and weaknesses.

Ge Committee members represent assistance to the College community
and will not usurp basic managerial responsibilities.

D. Committee members will refrain from discussing and making initial
comments to anyone outside of the Committee. The Committee's
work will be handled confidentially until the final disposition
is released by the entire Steering Committee.
