Additional Charge from the Dean for 2011–2012
This year, I am requesting that the Strategic Planning Committee accomplish the following:
- Conduct a final review of the 2010–2012 Strategic Plan for progress on strategic initiatives and operational goals. Develop a 2011–2013 plan incorporating new strategic initiatives, operational goals strategies, tactics and timelines. In drafting the plan, feedback should be obtained from appropriate faculty, administrative and other constituent groups.
- Review the college-level outcome measures on an annual basis and recommend any actions which should be taken based on this review.
- Continue to assess the alignment between the college's strategic plan and the HSC strategic plan and associated activities.
This year, each standing faculty committee will be charged with reviewing relevant outcome measures from the new college strategic plan. The measures which should be reviewed by the Strategic Planning Committee include:
- Faculty salary comparisons with peer institutions.
- Staff satisfaction with orientation and at two months.
- Staff salary comparisons with HSC.
