Vital academic considerations include the following: Effects on students; Education and budget planning; Issues of regional coordination for occupational programs Community workforce and economic development needs PROCEDURE Each college shall implement policy and procedure which explicitly identify: criteria that might trigger concerns about program viability; mechanisms and timing of communication and collaboration processes which are inclusive of program faculty and administrators; and mechanisms by which program viability problems might be remedied as an alternative to discontinuance; the timing for communication with administrators and faculty via the Academic and Professional Matters (APM) committee, to identify programs at the sister college that might be affected and to explore the possibility of merging/absorption by the sister college If one of the colleges determines through its shared governance process that program discontinuance is necessary, all of the following will occur: Written formal normal notice will be sent to program faculty, the Faculty Association, and Classified Union. The timing of notification shall be in accordance with Article 15 of the FA Agreement; College faculty and administrators will collaborate to develop a phase-out plan to be brought to APM for discussion and feedback. This phase-out plan will include provisions to ensure that: there is timely and ongoing communication with affected faculty and staff all students currently in the program have the opportunity to complete the program and are appropriately counseled, and the Faculty Association has time to resolve contractual issues for faculty in the affected program in accordance with Article 15 of the FA Agreement       TIME \@ "M/d/yy h:mm AM/PM" 9/7/11 8:59 AM  $  `Ewxy{|~о䱾humHnHujhuUmHnHuhujhuUh>WhuOJQJaJhuOJQJaJh>Whu5 h>WhuhphuOJQJaJh>WhuOJQJaJh>Whu5OJQJaJ%$%^ \  R   $ & Fa$gdu $ & Fa$gdu$a$gdu $ & Fa$gdu $h^ha$gdu $ & Fa$gdu$a$gdu  b jxz{}~gdu $ & Fa$gdu $ & Fa$gdu $ & Fa$gdu$a$gdu $ & Fa$gdu $ & Fa$gdu*:pu/ =!"#$%@@666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~8XV~ OJPJQJ_HmH nH sH tH <`< 6NormalCJ_HmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontRiR 0 Table Normal4 l4a (k ( 0No List fof tdDefault 7$8$H$1B*CJOJPJQJ^J_HaJmH phsH tH @@@ > List Paragraph ^m$4@4 <0Header !2!2 <0 Header CharCJ4 24 <0Footer !2A2 <0 Footer CharCJB'QB #~0Comment ReferenceCJaJ8b8 #~0 Comment TextaJBqB #~0Comment Text CharCJaJHjabH #~0Comment Subject5CJ\aJFrF #~0Comment Subject Char5\DD #~0 Balloon TextCJOJQJaJJJ #~0Balloon Text CharCJOJQJaJPK![Content_Types].xmlj0 u$Nwc$ans@8JbVKS(.Y$8MVgLYS]"(U֎_o[gv; f>KH|;\XV!]օ Oȥsh]Hg3߶PK!֧6 _rels/.relsj0 }Q%v/C/}(h"O = C?hv=Ʌ%[xp{۵_Pѣ<1H0ORBdJE4b$q_6LR7`0̞O,En7Lib/SeеPK!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xml M @}w7c(EbˮCAǠҟ7՛K Y, e.|,H,lxɴIsQ}#Ր ֵ+!,^$j=GW)E+& 8PK!\theme/theme/theme1.xmlYOoE#F{o'NDuر i-q;N3' G$$DAč*iEP~wq4;{o?g^;N:$BR64Mvsi-@R4Œ mUb V*XX! cyg$w.Q "@oWL8*Bycjđ0蠦r,[LC9VbX*x_yuoBL͐u_.
