Institutional Committees

There are five standing councils/committees of which the majority of membership is determined by position. Other representatives from the Board of Trustees, the Faculty Senate, the Staff Association, the Student Government Association, and the community also serve on these committees.

Vision/Mission/Goals Council

This council concentrates on the purpose of the institution by monitoring the institution’s mission and commitments, setting measures for institutional commitments, and identifying strategic planning goals for the institution. This group also monitors and recommends updates to the institution’s long range program plan and master facilities plan.

In addition to the following individuals, all members of the other four standing councils/committees are members of the Vision/Mission/Goals Council.

Planning/Budget Council

This council reviews and monitors effectiveness plans and sets budget priorities.  Under this grouping would be ad hoc or subcommittees on professional development, marketing, and information technology.

Educational Development Committee
This committee deals with any issue that has a direct relationship to programs or curricula.  Such subcommittees or ad hoc committees dealing with curriculum, assessment/placement, developmental education, global education, and economic development are generated by this group.

Quality of Life Committee
This committee deals with campus atmosphere, community events and student activities.  Such subcommittees or ad hoc committees as Fine and Performing Arts, Clemmons Lecture, athletics, Earth Day, and diversity would be generated by this group.

Institutional Operations Committee

This committee deals with issues involving general operations of the institution including areas such as, but not limited to: grievance, communicable disease, health and safety, and campus appearance.

Ad Hoc Committees
Ad Hoc or sub committees serve when a specified need arises that cannot be met by a standing committee. These committees fulfill their purpose and cease operations.

Committee members are appointed by the vice presidents and/or the president. Individuals should serve on no more than three ad hoc committees during a two year period. Selection of committee members should be based on the following:

1. Subject matter experts (SME) and for individuals who are knowledgeable with the issue being discussed.
2. Volunteers
3. Appointed by a vice president or the president to ensure an equitable distribution of committee assignments.

Operational Guidelines

1. Each committee member's attendance is a part of the employee's job responsibility and is mandatory. Committee participation plays a role in an employee's evaluation. Only a supervising vice president can excuse a committee member from attendance at a meeting. The committee member should then inform the chairman of the approved absence. The committee member is responsible for knowing what action was taken by the committee in the missed meeting.
2. Each committee elects a chair and a recording secretary except for instances when there is a designated chair.
3. Each committee performs according to specific assigned functions and roles. The members should devote the first meeting of the year to developing objectives and plans for the committee's work.
4. The chair plans each meeting in advance when possible and prepares an agenda to give to members before a meeting. The chair's plans may be based on suggestions and requests of committee members, the president, or other administrative officers.
5. Each committee keeps accurate minutes of all meetings. The committee secretary/recorder is responsible for posting these minutes on InfoNet; the Library downloads the minutes and files them by years.
6. The committee chair brings recommendations from the committee to the attention of the administration.
7. The committee lists items for which it wants specific answers in memoranda to appropriate administrative officers.
8. Generally, members serve on no more than two committees for a maximum term of two years. At the discretion of the vice-presidents or the president, they may serve on other committees according to their desire or interest or according to the needs of the college. Individuals may be required to serve on more than two committees based on the requirements of their position.
