Senate Bill 10-11-41

Bill ID: 10-11-41
PCC ID: 10043
Name: PCC Proposal to Reorganize and Rename the Departments in the College of Education
Proposed: 02/04/2011
Sponsor: PCC Committee
Proposal: The proposed three-department configuration will allow the College Of Education to streamline administrative structures and department operations, and support collaboration in course and curriculum planning and scheduling. The reorganization into three moderate-sized departments around faculty with common or complementary interests will streamline the College and departmental administrative structures, not only providing a cost savings, but also supporting a leaner, more nimble decision-making environment. The potential for more equitable shared participation in department-based committees and student support roles (e.g., admissions, advising, comprehensives, committees, etc.) will be facilitated
through the proposed reorganization. For many faculty, required participation in governance and service, especially for roles outside of the department itself, should be less burdensome and more equitable, especially for faculty from what had been the small departments.
