Summary of Foreseeable Challenges and Opportunities
Goals for 14-15
13
1. Prioritize recommendations from the CLS Strategic Planning Task Forces and charge the
Task Forces with outlining possible actions steps for implementing priorities
2. At the recommendation of the CLS Academic Oversight Committee, appoint a CLS Task
Force to establish a set of Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) for the College Core
requirements and consider potential reorganization of the college core.
3. Charge CLS Committees to revise Committee Bylaws so as to remove representation
from the Department of Education Studies (which has moved to the SOE).
4. Continue development of the CLS and SAC webpages
5. Develop new promotional brochures for CLS and SAC
6. Develop a Code of Conduct for the college that establishes appropriate behaviors for
faculty and staff.
7. Continue workload analysis and enrollment strategic planning for all departments
8. Continue to provide administrative support to departments through the appointment of
Interim or Co-Chairs, as needed
9. Work with the Department of Sociology & Archaeology on a possible split into two
departments.
10. The CLS Deans Office will be conducting a review of department bylaws.
11. The CLS Deans Office will be pursuing further chair development opportunities. Dr. Jeff
from Employee Assistance has agreed to conduct Conflict Resolution sessions with the
CLS Chairs & Directors Advisory Council. The Dean’s Office is conducting a New
Chairs Boot Camp this summer for the four new chairs. Ongoing one-to-one chair
mentoring will continue throughout the year.
12. Create a centralized, searchable database for diversity resources.
13. CLS Diversity Committee will develop a model diversity policy for department bylaws.
14. The college will continue the CLS Inclusive Excellence Film Series in the Spring
15. An Institute for Social Justice will be officially proposed this academic year.
16. The SAC will be holding a SAC Recruiting Day on October 10, 2014.
17. The Second Annual “Creative Imperatives” Arts Week will be held March 1-4, 2015
18. The annual CLS “Celebration of Excellence” Presentation will be held in April 2015.
Suggestions for Assistance from the Provost and Associate Vice-Chancellors
1. Review Summer School Policy to see how Internship Supervision can be compensated.
The current policy for group instruction of a minimum of 18 credits to receive salary does
not work for internships, which are required in some departments or strongly encouraged
for other students during the summer by other departments. The current Summer School
Policy is a disincentive for student and faculty to engage in very beneficial summer
internships.
2. Secure funding to support the college expenses for the 2+2 Chinese English Rhetoric &
Writing Program (Replacement costs for Director Haixia Lan’s .25 release/semester and
summer stipend, annual Director and Dean/Associate Dean travel for student recruitment
14
and administrative work, student tutor, travel for TESOL Graduate to teach at Guangxi
Normal University, translation costs, S&E for recruitment = approximately $31,000/year)
3. Secure funding to support Winter Session salaries, so that college salary savings can be
used for other college priorities (strategic planning initiatives, such as e-portfolio project
and interdisciplinary initiatives, faculty development, equipment/technology grants, IE
Initiatives)
