STANDARD III.A
the College’s annual Management Plan. The
Annual Plan is linked to the College’s overall
Strategic Plan. Human Resources planning is
integrated with institutional planning in two
ways. First, the FPAC makes position recommendations
to the PBC each year. The PBC then
makes overall decisions on funding positions
based on the College’s Strategic Priorities and
financial position. The second way that Human
Resources planning is integrated with institutional
planning is through the Department’s
efforts to address Strategic Priority 8, “To
continue to promote a dynamic and supportive
organizational climate including improved communication
among students, faculty, and staff,
development of the talents of faculty and staff,
and promotion of diversity at all levels of the
College.” [Refs. 23, 24] Towards this effort,
the Human Resources Department has worked
collaboratively with College constituents to
maintain a commitment to diversity and equity
through the hiring procedures. Recruitment
efforts aimed at broadening the reach to diverse
populations, attendance at local and state job
fairs, as well as organizing the College’s first job
fair in January 2005, as noted previously. The
Human Resources Department has also worked
to implement the recommendations made
through the Diversity Committee to review
and assess the faculty hiring procedures to
ensure responsiveness to diversity hiring. As an
example, the administrative application process
was expanded to include an applicant statement
attesting commitment to and listing experiences
serving/working with diverse student/employee
populations. Moreover, prospective faculty applicants
are asked to express in writing how their
course content and teaching methods meet the
needs of culturally and academically diverse
learners. They must also supply a list of any
classes or professional development activities
they have participated in that directly relate
to working with diverse student populations.
The Diversity Committee’s review and dialog
is ongoing and essential to the progress and
success of the College’s recruitment and
hiring efforts.
