Budget & Planning Ranking Procedures
 Step One
Budget and Planning Committee will receive a fund request from each college division (AA, SS, AS). Each
request is submitted along with a resource request rubric which provides data as to how each request
will benefit the college.
 Step Two
Budget and Planning will focus on ‘critical’ requests as indicated in template.
 Step Three
Budget and Planning will cull the ‘critical’ requests and identify items that fall into the priorities of
Stability and Sustainability.
 Step Four
*Ranking Teams will rank these requests using the approved scoring criteria. Each team will submit their
results to the co-chairs of Budget and Planning. (Faculty positions will not be ranked)
 Step Five
The co-chairs, with the help of the Budget and Planning task force, will average all rankings and create a
spreadsheet with all ‘critical’ requests ranked.
 Step Six
The ranked requests will be reviewed by the committee and funding sources will be suggested if
available. The committee will also determine a recommended number of full-time faculty positions to
be hired based upon the college’s financial outlook.
 Step Seven
Final rankings, possible funding sources, and number of recommended faculty hires will be submitted to
College Council for approval.
*Ranking Teams
Ranking Teams of two will be created by the Budget and Planning co-chair. These ranking teams will be created
in an attempt to pair up members from different constituent groups and/or units, if possible. Division heads will
not be included on the ranking teams to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest. Division heads will serve as
resources for ranking teams if clarification is needed regarding funding requests.
