PURPOSE:
To identify efficiencies and possible duplication in college functions and advise the Executive Team about possible solutions.

OUTCOMES:
Set of recommendations for making the college more efficient in its use of resources and for elimination of duplicative functions.

SCOPE:
Final recommendations for efficiencies and elimination of duplication rest with the president.
In some cases, the board may have to approve implementation of recommendations.
Recommendations submitted by February 28, 2002.

PRINCIPLES:
Group members will choose the facilitator.
Group members will ask for clarification from budget administrators of affected programs prior to making recommendations.
As much as possible, recommendations will be made by consensus.  When consensus is not possible, a recommendation should be accompanied by a report stating all positions and their rationales.
Group members will keep the discussions of the group confidential.
Group members will not share information with people outside the group, other than asking for information from department heads.  When recommendations have been finalized and published by the Executive Team, representatives may discuss them with constituents, while holding the conversation that led to the recommendations confidential.

AUTHORITY:
Recommend to Executive Team
