PRIORITIZATION 2005-2006
|
|
A process to thoroughly evaluate every
academic and administrative program of EMU has been
in process since January 2005. The process had its genesis
in the fall of 2004 when top EMU administrators became
aware of a prioritization methodology developed by Dr.
Robert Dickeson which is outlined in his book Prioritizing
Academic Programs and Services : Reallocating Resources
to Achieve Strategic Balance.
In January 2005 Dr. Dickeson came to
EMU for a day of consulting and conversation with a number
of groups on campus and by the end of the month the process
was launched with President Swartzendruber appointing
the Prioritization Steering Committee (PSC). This committee
included top administrators, faculty recommended by their
peers and several staff administrators.
President Swartzendruber appointed Provost
Dr. Beryl Brubaker to lead the work of the PSC. The committee's
work was divided into categories and proceeded generally
according to the following timeline:

JANUARY 23, 2006
Preliminary recommendations were announced to the campus
community at a University Forum held in Martin Chapel.
Feedback from the campus community was sought and received
until February 6, 2006.
The Prioritization Steering Committee (PSC) is in the
process of evaluating the feedback received and will send
the PSC Final Recommendations to President Swartzendruber
on or about February 16. These recommendations will be
posted on this web page on or about the time they are
presented to the President.
The President will receive appeals on the PSC Final Recommendations
between the time they are published on this web page and
March 2 afterwhich he will decide which recommendations
will become the Final Prioritization 2005-06 Recommendations.
Any recommendations requiring EMU Board of Trustees approval
will be submitted to the Board by President Swartzendruber
at the March 24-25, 2006 meeting.
