Planning committee offers
new long-range solutions
Long-range planning tor the University has
moved from the abstract to the concrete with
recent actions by a faculty group.
Long-Range Planning Committee members
are in the process of writing a report for University
Pres Paul Olum that may be finished by the end of
spring term, said committee member Rick Mow
day, head of the management department
The committee has already referred a few
'■crucial" issues to appropriate faculty groups,
such as asking the Advisory Council to consider
whether the University needs more coordination
of its computing courses and equipment
But it will be up to Olum to decide how to deal
with the majority of the committee's suggestions,
Mowday says Copies of the committee's findings
may also be made available to the University
community, he says
Each of the 10 faculty members on the plan
ning committee is contributing one section of the
report The report consolidates and comments on
issues in planning documents submitted during
winter term by all University department and
schools.
The 10 main areas of the report focus on:
• Creating new interdisciplinary degree pro
grams.
• Coordinating existing teaching programs
and curricula.
• Developing department and schools, with
specific reference to meeting student demand,
changes in the discipline, and increasing quality.
• Creating (or eliminating) degree programs
within and across units
• Reorganizing administrative units (col
leges and departments)
• Reviewing and evaluating administrative
and support units on campus.
• Developing external relations.
• Reviewing and evaluating major degree
programs and departments on a regular basis.
• Reviewing and evaluating the budgeting
process, with specific reference to long-term
mission, goals and priorities.
• Institutionalizing the long-range planning
process
