行政体制改革程序

教务委员会于二零零八年一月十六日通过

文理学院

第一阶段:拟定建议

 

概述

Recognizing that administrative restructuring can be initiated both internally (from within units) 和 externally (from outside units), Proposals may be developed by a range of parties: an individual faculty member, 一群教员, 一个主席, 学院院长, 教务长, 或总统.

行政改革的建议包括合并单位, 划分单元, 形成新的单位, 消除单位, 以及其他无法预见的改变行政结构的计划.

内部项目

发展

当教师或主席提出行政改革时, the development of the Proposal must adhere to consultative processes within the unit. 委员会, 在适当的时候, 应该参与其中, 和 the results of committee votes should be recorded; subsequently, 本单位应当对提案进行审议, 单位投票的结果也必须记录下来.

咨询

Those within the unit who wish to propose restructuring must consult with the Dean 和 his or her staff to ensure the feasibility of the Proposal in terms of staffing, 设施, 预算, 和 resources; these consultations may forestall problems that are unforeseen at the unit level (distribution of FTEs, 预算问题, 空间分配, 和 so on) but that may be addressed in productive ways during the development process. 除了, the Dean should assess whether the Proposal can be implemented without creating adverse effects on other units within the College.

不同意见

If individuals or groups of individuals within an affected unit—either members of committees or members of the unit as a whole—object to the proposed restructuring, they may prepare Written Dissents; while Dissents are not considered part of 这一提议, they will be forwarded with the Proposal as it continues through the review process.

外部项目

发展

当院长, 教务长, 或者总统提出行政改革, 他或她的办公室将准备提案.

咨询

The administrator who proposes the restructuring must consult with the affected units. 审查过程应在委员会一级开始, 在适当的时候, 和 the results of the committee votes must be recorded; subsequently, 本单位应当对提案进行审议, 而且单位投票的结果也必须记录下来.

不同意见

If individuals or groups of individuals within the affected units—either members of committees or members of the unit as a whole—object to the proposed restructuring, they may prepare Written Dissents; while Dissents are not considered part of 这一提议, they will be forwarded with the Proposal as it continues through the review process.

第三阶段:委员会审查

审议

The Academic Affairs Committee 和 the Administrative Affairs Committee will review the Proposal separately. They may consult proponents to request additional information or suggest revisions.

修正

If those who made the Proposal choose to revise it based on Committee 建议, 他们应通知教务委员会主席, 谁将通知教务长及执行委员会.

The initiators of the Proposal should then return to affected committees 和 units for additional discussions 和 votes (see Stage 1). The revised Proposal should then be forwarded to the Chairperson of the 教师 Council (see Stage 2). 修订后的建议书将以与原始提交的建议书相同的方式处理.

如果提案发起者选择不修改, 各委员会将着手其建议.

建议

Each Committee will make a recommendation to the 教师 Council to approve or reject the Proposal.
