2009-10 College Council Recommendations

Balancing Growth and Capacity In this fiscal year, staffing level must be

adjusted in order to relieve disparity and with consideration for present and future increases in enrollment.

The Council recommends priority needs to be on positions which are most critical to student success. The Council feels positions requested by Student Services, Office of Instruction and Administrative Services are aligned with this goal.

College Council Recommendations

Reallocation of Funds The College Council is concerned

that alternative funding sources may not be sustainable.

College Council Recommendations

Efficiency Increasing use of student “self-

services” is helping some departments.

Devoting resources that will facilitate additional online services to promote college wide priorities

Continue to implement existing and explore additional green alternatives. Fully support practices to reduce hazardous waste and printing, copying , and mailing materials use and costs.
