               Role and Responsibilities of SPC

     The Strategic Planning Committee is charged with developing,

coordinating, and overseeing long-range institutional planning,
including reviewing the mission of the college, establishing
goals, identifying resources and limitations, suggesting how
resources should be allocated in order to achieve goals, and
determining structured assessment procedures.  The role of the
Strategic Planning Committee requires that it be consulted prior
to any decisions pertaining to policy development or long-range
planning.  It can appoint committees to assist in its work. 
Coordination with Academic Board, the Graduate Council, and
Faculty Council is accomplished by having representatives from
these bodies on the Strategic Planning Committee.  It reports
directly to the President of the College.

     The Strategic Planning Committee consists of 33 members
representing a wide spectrum of college functions and activities.

Included are a member of the Board of Visitors; the VP for
Academic Affairs; the VP for Finance; the Undergraduate and

Services; the Director of Student Activities; representatives for

library, the athletic department, ITS, and the outside community;
four students, including two cadets, a graduate student, and an
undergraduate evening college student; and thirteen faculty
members, including single representatives from Academic Board and
Faculty Council, the Chair of the Assessment Committee, the
Director of the Self-Study, and three members elected by Faculty
Council.  

     The Chair of Strategic Planning, the VPs for Academic
Affairs and Finance, the four deans, and five other faculty
members make up the Strategic Planning Steering Committee, which

Planning Task Forces, develops charges for and oversees the work
