Working Group Proposal Factors

These are some of the factors that each working group considers as it works its way toward recommendations to the Steering Group, Deans, and Presidents’ Council. They will be giving a status report in early December 2004 and their final proposals in March 2005 will address these factors.

• Current Policy or Procedure:

• Proposed New or Revised Policy or Procedure:

• What information or resources were used to develop this recommendation?

• Does the proposal conform to ICCB and/or IBHE requirements?

• Does the proposal consider other legal requirements? Elaborate.

• Does the proposal consider contractual language at Oakton? Elaborate.

• Can this process be done electronically by students? By staff? By both?

• Will the Banner System support this change? Will this require customization or special programming? [Note: working group may not be able to answer these questions yet.]

• How will the proposal affect students?

• How will the proposal affect faculty?

• How will the proposal affect staff?

• Is training required to implement the change?

• What implementation timetable is proposed, if any?

• If possible, describe any barriers you see to your recommendation being accepted? Are there likely to be opponents? If so, who and on what basis might they oppose?

• Other considerations?
