College Council 4/29/2015 ATTACHMENT Planning, Review, and Budget Council Program Review Synthesis Statement on Resource Allocation March 4th, 2015 Based upon the trends seen in Program Review documents and discussions with college constituencies and committees, the PRBC recommends that the college consider a radical new direction from its historical pattern. Traditionally, we obtain our FTES goal, translate that to FTEF, and put it on schedule while adding new faculty based on retirements and program need. From reading and synthesizing over fifty Program Reviews, we see a critical need for classified and administrative personnel to support our existing and projected FTES goals as well as retain existing students to meet these FTES goals. Critical gaps in infrastructure prevent us from maintaining programs and meeting student needs. Positions that support the strategic plan goal Moving through the institution and processes, starting with A&R and financial aid and bolstering learning support to fulfill the college strategic goal plan Supporting student success, persistence and retention, including SSSP requirements Below maintenance of the college’s primary services Classified are in position to say what is needed in relation to largest holes in our primary services.
