Faculty Communication with IR: Putting it Down on Paper

29 11 2010

The biggest action item TAG has been working on so far this semester is improving communication between faculty members and IR.  Over the past few weeks, a few TAG members got together and took a stab at codifying how TAG can facilitate faculty feedback into technology decisions.  This isn’t a TAG mission statement, since it’s only one of our group’s original goals, but it’s a way to formalize one aspect of our work.

On the advice of IR, we’re thinking of calling this document a “Memorandum of Understanding” rather than an official policy, because we’re not sure that it’s appropriate to send through the whole University Governance structure.  However, we’re still thinking of sending it to the Faculty Senate Academic Support committee for review and discussion (Jeremy and Kristen will be meeting with Jack Beidler to get his thoughts on this move).

We’d like to hear feedback on this draft of the document.  Please let us know what you think about the text as well as if/how you’d like to see it implemented on campus.  Thanks!

There seems to be an extra ‘to’ in the last sentence before the first bullet.
