Job Description of Associate Dean for a division vs. a department chair

Slide 7

Financial plan for incremental phase-in of a Divisional Structure: Proposal for phase-in: Reduce to four divisions as a mid-range goal: Foundation Division Head 1 Division Head 2 Division Head 3

Slide 8

Concept: Associate Dean of a Division would be a 12 month administrative position with faculty status and an opportunity to teach at least one course. Associate Deans would report to current Dean of Undergraduate Programs and Faculty (perhaps with modified job title)

Slide 9

Remuneration: Division Assoc. Dean salary Rationale: Salary should be a minimum at $90,000.00

Slide 10

Average Faculty Salary: $69,600.00 Would nominally need $20,000.00 per Division Head + $22,500.00 in part time salaries (5 courses X $4,500.00)= $ 20,000.00 $ 22,500.00 $ 42,500.00 per Division Head

Slide 11

Timeline/Sequence for Phase-In AY11: Affirm concept of mid-range divisional structure. Reminder- Foundation as a Division with Divisional Assoc. Dean in place. Begin process of searching for and appointing Divisional Assoc. Dean in AY12

Slide 12

AY12: Appoint one Division Head in addition to Foundation Head This individual would have a modified job description, ie., would act as a general associate dean until a second Division was appointed. Begin search for 3 rd Division Head Timeline/Sequence for Phase-In

Slide 13

AY13 (or as soon as possible): Appoint 3 rd Divisional Assoc. Dean. Timeline/Sequence for Phase-In

Slide 14

Divisional Organization Value of a discipline based approach Disciplines/Departments vs Majors Alignment of Administrative Assistance, Academic Advising, Career Development w/Divisions

Proposal for Phase-In Reduce to four divisions as a mid-range goal: Foundation Liberal Arts Fine Arts Design & Media

Slide 20

AY11: Affirm concept of mid-range divisional structure. Reminder- Foundation is a Division with leadership in place. Begin process of searching for and appointing a Divisional Assoc. Dean in AY12

Slide 21

AY12: Appoint one Associate Dean for a division in addition to Associate Dean for Foundation Would be selected to serve as either Associate Dean of Design & Media or Fine Arts

Slide 22

AY13 (or as soon as possible): Appoint Associate Dean to whichever of the two divisions cited above is not covered (Design & Media or Fine Arts)

Slide 23

Rationale 3 Divisional Associate Deans would be appointed by AY13 Collectively, would oversee all of the undergraduate studio programs. Liberal Arts would be last to appoint an Associate Dean

Slide 24

Selection Process Chairs and other faculty representatives from the appropriate division would form a search committee under the leadership of the Dean for Undergraduate Studies and Faculty. A position description would be developed and advertised, first and primarily in house. Given our experience with other similar positions in Academic Affairs, we may have to identify individuals with this kind of leadership potential and encourage them to apply.

Slide 25

By AY13, we could imagine an undergraduate management structure that would consist of : Foundation Design & Media Fine Arts Art History (Chair) Humanistic Studies (Chair) Under the Dean of Undergraduate Programs and Faculty, this group would constitute the Deans Advisory Committee.

Slide 26

AY14 (or sooner): Appoint an Associate Dean of Liberal Arts AY14 and beyond: Continue to make Associate Dean appointments that fulfill the ideal model.

Slide 27

Whats Not Working Communication Clarity in Decision-Making

Slide 28

Criteria for New Management Organization Cant cost (a lot) more Feasible- High likelihood of implementation Rational, efficient, and functional interface with faculty governance Manage and support complexity Create appropriately scaled management communities Provide clear responsibility for decision- making Create clear lines of communication
