At the present time, no department has committed resources for releasing faculty to serve as second readers on culminating experience projects. The first stage of an assessment plan for recommendations 34 and 38 would be the preparation by departments of a proposal for allocating resources at the department level to be submitted to college deans. The first stage of an assessment plan for recommendation 40 would involve the preparation of a proposal from the President's office to be sent to the Chancellor's Office. The second would involve whether or not advocacy efforts were undertaken in Sacramento. FTE is funded by the legislature.
Departments assess their resources, needs and develop a plan for resource allocation.
President's Office prepares a proposal for submission to Chancellor's Office. Reallocating funds, however, always involves decisions that may differentially advantage some at the expense of others. In particular, increasing positions for Graduate Teaching Associates may decrease positions available for lecturers. The distribution of more of the University's resources to support graduate students and faculty can be accomplished by UBC, but some other activities would not, as a consequence, be funded.
