COMMITTEE ARCHITECTURE

Summary of the Interim Advisory Council

Glendale Community College

May 6, 1996

As Glendale Community College's mission evolves and the college expands into a multi-site campus, changes in the college committee structure may be necessary. The Interim Advisory Council recommends that any revision of committee structure should attempt to:

  1. Eliminate redundancy of effort

  2. Establish accountability through designating a committee chair, a clear charge, a membership criteria, and a reporting mechanism

  3. Improve representation on process committees such as budgeting and staffing

  4. Institute scheduling that fosters participation

  5. Improve equity of involvement

  6. Conduct an annual evaluation/report on committees

Changes in the committee structure may involve creation of new committees and consolidation or cessation of existing committees.

ADDITIONAL CONCERNS

  1. Develop data about current committee assignments including how often the committee meets, time spent on the committee per semester

  2. Develop a committee ranking system based on time on task

  3. Develop employee (PSA, MATP, M&O, Crafts) responsibility beyond faculty (RFP) involvement

  4. Develop alternative service to committee assignments

  5. Develop relationship of District committees to Glendale's committee structure as it relates to individual responsibility

  6. Determine committee size for maximum effectiveness
