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:
- Eliminate redundancy of effort
- Establish accountability through designating a committee chair, a clear charge, a membership criteria, and a reporting mechanism
- Improve representation on process committees such as budgeting and staffing
- Institute scheduling that fosters participation
- Improve equity of involvement
- 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.
- Develop data about current committee assignments including how often the committee meets, time spent on the committee per semester
- Develop a committee ranking system based on time on task
- Develop employee (PSA, MATP, M&O, Crafts) responsibility beyond faculty (RFP) involvement
- Develop alternative service to committee assignments
- Develop relationship of District committees to Glendale's committee structure as it relates to individual responsibility
- Determine committee size for maximum effectiveness
