ACADEMIC STRUCTURE
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Programs in DHA become departments in
name and identity
– Maintain the shared organizational and economic
structure currently known as DHA. Figure out how to
do this in an economically feasible way without
massive changes in terms of time or money. There
are issues of governance that would need to be
resolved. Department directors should meet with DHA
Chair/Head as a new administrative group.
Departments should have a greater voice in shaping
their vision.
RECOMMENDATIONS (CONT.)
2. Space and equipment
•
We need to have a plan and timetable/schedule for the
move into a single building that will house the College of
Design.
3. Increase transparency regarding financial
status of departments and programs
•
Faculty need to know why and how decisions are made
regarding program and collegiate budgets.
RECOMMENDATIONS (CONT.)
4. Work towards equity
•
Educate people about the value of teaching and research
that occurs in all units of the college. Re-evaluate what is
valued and considered successful in the college.
5. Increase interdisciplinary teaching and research
•
Increase flexibility in course scheduling, prerequisites,
course level (i.e., 3xxx), etc.) and room in major programs
for electives. Reduce impediments that keep students from
taking courses that would be interdisciplinary if students
from across the college take them. Provide collegiate
incentives for interdisciplinary work.
RECOMMENDATIONS (CONT.)
6. Value Service
•
Elevate the value of service among other responsibilities
(e.g., teaching, scholarship) to the college. Leadership
opportunities need to be equally shared.
7. Identify clear goals regarding College initiatives
and events
•
Clear goals and sustained effort are needed
