Guiding Principles

The Resource Allocation Council is committed to clearly communicating our processes and recommendations.  In the resource allocation process, we will ask the questions:

• Does it help students reach their educational goals?
• Is it reasonable?
• Is it allowable?
• Is it essential?
• Is it sustainable?

The direction of the Resource Allocation Council is based on the following established Guiding Principles: 

• We value stewardship and integrity in recognizing our fiduciary responsibilities to ensure financial stability.
• We take an institutional approach to decision-making.  Resource allocation recommendations are based on the following:

1. 1. Alignment to the college mission and goals
   2. Scholarship of teaching and learning
   3. Value to the community
   4. Budget assumptions, projections, and  scenarios

• We strategically allocate resources to strengthen learning and support services that improve student success.
• We are responsive to articulated college needs through a defined and documented process.
• We use relevant, well-defined, agreed-upon data in a consistent manner for decision-making.
• We are proactive in leveraging current resources, regardless of the fiscal climate.
• We operate under the established timelines.
• We regularly assess, refine, and communicate resource allocation processes.
