Academic Leadership Meeting – Academic Affairs Forum, The Dean’s Dashboard, Part 2 (private event)

Presenter: David Godow

Faculty are the institution’s most precious resource, and their activities largely determine the success or failure of the institutional mission. However, most faculty utilization policies fail to focus faculty effort on the highest high-value work that promotes institutional goals.

This webconference will discuss how institutions are making more effective use of faculty time without crude, politically unacceptable “productivity improvement” policies like increasing teaching load or course size caps. It will also explore how metrics are being integrated into unit-level strategic planning and budgeting processes to create faculty buy-in for data-informed decision making

Learn how to ensure departments are maximizing use of available instructional capacity, better align faculty workload policy with institutional priorities, engage units more fully in “data-informed decision making” by connecting use of metrics with their own goals.

Academic Leadership Meeting – Academic Affairs Forum, The Dean’s Dashboard, Part 1 (private event)

Presenter: David Godow

As budget pressures increase, academic units must become more conscious of whether their resource allocation decisions—from faculty to classrooms—are advancing their goals. This webconference will identify the metrics and tools progressive deans are using to maximize course scheduling efficiency, as well as common curricular design problems that “bake” inefficiency into academic programs.

Learn how to identify and size the opportunity for section reduction and course elimination,  estimate section demand and correct supply-demand misalignment during scheduling, assess the efficiency of major and gen-ed curricula.

Title IX Workshop – Dahlonega

Facilitated by Alyson Paul

This workshop will cover Title IX issues as well as related concerns for faculty. Topics will include setting appropriate boundary issues with students and common Title IX concerns in the context of classroom discipline, disruptive behavior, and the process for reporting Title IX concerns and other academic and behavioral concerns. University process and procedures for all of these related areas will be explained. They will also share some information about other ways the Deans of Students can help you and your faculty with questions and concerns that come up during the year, including hardship withdrawals and general student conduct information.

There will be two sessions covering this material. One on the Dahlonega Campus and one on the Gainesville Campus. Both sessions will cover the same material.
