Points of Consideration
1. Apply Standards of Accreditation when
determining core services essential to the
mission of a comprehensive community
college.(Northwest Commission on Colleges
and Universities, 2003 Edition)
http://www.nwccu.org/Standards%20and%2
0Policies/Guide%20for%20SelfStudy/Standards%20and%20Guide.htm.
Points of Consideration
Institutional Mission and Goals, Planning

Educational Program and Its Effectiveness
Students
Faculty
Library and Information Resources
Governance and Administration
Finance
Physical Resources
Institutional Integrity
Points of Consideration
2. Recognizing the substantial nature of the
current budget reduction requirement, and in
consideration of the impact of said reduction
on the college’s future strategic direction, the
strategic themes as articulated in the
colleges current strategic plan will be used
as principles to guide the budget reduction
process.
3. Meet fiduciary (i.e., financial, contractual,
legal and regulatory) obligations.
Points of Consideration
4. All programs/services, defined as
organizational units at the College that
provide academic, student, public or any
other services, and all aspects of the current
operation, are reviewed for possible
reduction. In general, the process will:
Points of Consideration
•Emphasize the principle of efficiency,
whereby the total cost (considered in
terms of economics, educational, social,
human, community, etc.) associated with
a retained program does not exceed total
benefit.
•Emphasize current and future costeffectiveness, defined as the ‘relative
cost of offering a program/service
measured against the relative outcomes
(i.e., impacts)’ of a program/service.
Points of Consideration
•Consider the positive impact that a
program/service has on meeting state
mandated student achievement initiative
targets

ntachievement.aspx
•Be balanced in a way so as to meet the
mission of the college
Points of Consideration
5. Make every effort to maintain basic
service levels, while reducing the cost of
providing those services. Consider
reduction measures that will have the
least impact on overall college
operations, and contemplate the use of
alternate entities, via contracts or
partnerships, for example, that are
consistent with labor contract
requirements, to meet critical needs.
Points of Consideration
6. Every effort will be made to strive for
position placements that, in any college
reorganization, assigns responsibilities
according to established knowledge,
skills and ability of qualified individuals, in
deference to fiduciary obligations as
described in #3.
Points of Consideration
7. Treat people with respect and dignity;
make every effort to minimize impact on
people’s lives (e.g. early notification from
the president, confidentiality, focus on
positions rather than performance or
persons, and data-driven decisions).
8. Maximize revenue and operating
efficiency of all revenue-generating
programs.
Points of Consideration
9. Make every effort to continue meeting
the needs of the external work force, and
consider the economic needs of the
community in doing so.
