Presenter: Soon Merz
Discussion: Soon Merz presented a draft of the Support Services Review (SSR) quality improvement plan. The new evaluation process replaces the Internal College Survey (ICS) and is modeled after the Instructional Program Review. By making use of a SWOT analysis the SSR will adequately evaluate and provide information on areas needing improvement within an administrative unit. A question was asked on how faculty can evaluate administrative units for the current year without the ICS. By participating in a unit’s SWOT analysis, a faculty or staff member can evaluate administrative offices. It was also suggested that faculty may consider looking for offices where faculty input is critical and participating in the unit’s SWOT analysis. Faculty council member Susan Ore requested, from the OIEA office, an announcement to faculty on the termination of the ICS. Also, a suggestion was made to include a statement in the SSR stating that units should actively solicit input from employee associations during SWOT analyses. Decision/Actions: A motion was made to approve the SSR plan with the added statement and send forward to employee associations for comments. Motion passed. Follow-up item: The SSR plan will go to the shared governance channels for comments.
