Many of you are raising excellent questions about how we are conducting strategic planning in CASL. Here are a couple of answers!
How was the original planning committee assembled?
The Strategic Planning Facilitator Group was formed based on recommendations by CASL department chairs, staff supervisors, and student government leaders. It represents all CASL departments and brings a wide array of experiences and perspectives to the table. This group is charged with devising and launching a process through which the College can work collectively to envision where we want to go and how we want to get there. I was blown away by the quick response as I invited each participant. Their willingness to be a part of this, all on a volunteer basis, speaks to their commitment to the College, and to the difference that can be made.
How will final decisions be made?
We don’t yet know. I do know that our strategic planning process needs to be as interactive as possible and to take us to a set of decisions that have meaning across the CASL community. I also know that our decisions have to be thoroughly vetted by all who will be impacted by and responsible for those decisions. Some of our decisions may become self-evident in the process. Some may need to be vigorously debated and even voted upon. Some decisions I may make as Dean and others will best be made at the department level. As we become ready to make decisions, it is my intent that we will all be clear on the appropriate decision-making process for each. For now, though, our focus is on identifying the good questions that deserve our attention.
