Fall Conference Action Plan Committee

Status:

The Chancellor's Fall Conference Action Plan Committee's draft report (PDF 285 KB) is now available for comments. These PowerPoint slides provide a summary of the committee's report and recommendations. Please contact vpiet-info@ucdavis.edu with questions or comments.

The Committee was established by Vice Provost Pete Siegel on October 30, 2007. A summary of the charge, membership, and timeframe for the committee’s work follow.

Charge:

Develop a brief 5-year vision document based on the fall conference reports and recommendations (1-5 pages).
Prepare a specific set of follow-up recommendations based on the breakout group reports (15 pages). This could include:
- Recommending the formation of follow-on processes, investigations or assessments;
- Encouraging specific kinds of I.T. investments;
- Suggesting items be moved to existing committees (CCFIT, ACCD, Senate IT Committee, Deans’ Technology Council, etc.) for further review; or
- Recommending no further work on specific topics.
Some recommendations will be longer-term and general; however, the committee is encouraged to identify specific accomplishments that could be substantially achieved within the next 12 months, as well as brief, but substantive, measures of progress or success from the perspective of the campus community.
Prioritize all recommendations, especially those involving financial or other resources.

Publicize widely (e.g., Fall Conference participants, campus community).
