Book excerpt: California Community Colleges are facing increased accountability while at the same time experiencing reduced and uncertain state funding. When resources are not properly allocated there is waste, public criticism, and ultimately increased oversight. A review of the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (accjc) sanction letters from 2008, 2009, and 2010 noted that colleges are having difficulty in demonstrating the linkage between planning and resource allocation. Institutions failing to demonstrate effectiveness through the integration of strategic planning and resource allocation are not accomplishing their mission and face increasing levels of discipline from the accrediting commission. The purpose of this research is to explore how one California Community College successfully integrates strategic planning and resource allocation. Through case study research, four themes emerged: Planning Structure and Support, Leadership, Planning Linked to Resource Allocation; and Communication. Planning structure and support provided the foundation for the integrated planning process through a mission focused approach to planning, common set of definitions, documented process for planning and budgeting, and process evaluation and training. Leadership provided the consistent effort and placed priority on the integration of planning and resource allocation. Planning linked to resource allocation was a theme used by the college through the practice of joint planning (program review and resource allocation) meetings and an integrated strategic planning calendar. Finally, the college used communication strategies to announce successful integrated planning accomplishments and provide information on the campus efforts towards integrated planning. This study contributes to the limited literature existing regarding the integration of strategic planning and resource allocation. It is hoped that this study will encourage practitioners to create a culture of evaluation and improvement, focused on campus governance and planning structure. Furthermore, leadership should take deliberate action to integrate planning and resource allocation activities to ensure that planning drives resource allocations. Success is also gained through an open well documented planning and allocation process so the entire campus community can understand how campus planning occurs and can participate in the planning process. Finally, leadership should provide opportunities to communicate planning successes and reinforce the planning process at every opportunity.

Download or read book Strategic Planning and Resource Allocation as a Road Trip written by Douglas A. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural community colleges are unique in many ways including the students served, local community needs, geographic location, and funding. Simply having a strategic plan is not enough to meet the increasing calls for public accountability. Funding is the primary key to taking the strategic plan off the shelf and placing it on center stage. This can be accomplished through integrated planning efforts to incorporate strategic planning considerations in the budgeting process and decisions. This case study provides a better understanding of how this is being done at one medium sized rural community college. The research questions for this study focused on understanding the process for preparing the strategic plan and budget. They also examined how strategic goals and resource demands are established and prioritized. The research questions additionally identified systems, documents, and processes to integrate strategic planning and resource allocation and specifically examined the impact of leadership. A qualitative case study design was used to describe, understand, and interpret these complex real world processes. Interviews were conducted with 13 institutional leaders directly involved with strategic planning and resource allocation to provide a rich description from a variety of perspectives. Documents were also collected and used in the data analysis. Hill Valley Community College (HVCC) serves approximately 4,600 credit students and 1,000 non-credit students annually on two main campuses. The service area of the college encompasses over 11,000 square miles and a total population of approximately 90,000. The HVCC service area is larger than 9 states including Maryland and Vermont. HVCC is the only higher education provider in the service area in this rural part of a Mountain West state. The findings of this research at HVCC identified four primary themes and included (a) respect for the organizational environment, (b) addressing changes with flexibility and responsiveness, (c) commitment to leading and communicating the vision, and (d) establishing trust in budgeting. These four themes collectively described how this one rural community college integrated strategic planning and resource allocation processes. Over the course of this research an interpretation of four conditions essential for successful strategic planning and resource allocation integration emerged and were synthesized by a senior administrator. These conditions were (a) a strong unified leadership, (b) a focused and clear strategic plan, (c) effective followers, and (d) the availability of funding to support the plan. These conditions were each necessary and together they were described as sufficient for successfully integrated strategic planning and resource allocation. Some conditions may be more important than others at times, but in the end they are all collectively responsible for progress towards the future vision of the college. Like any road trip, many elements are necessary for progress and success in integrating strategic planning and resource allocation. A well-planned successful road trip requires someone to take the lead, forethought, a reliable vehicle, money for gas and adventures, and friends willing to go along for the ride. Likewise, strategic planning has essential conditions that are necessary for success. Individually these conditions are not sufficient but collectively they are sufficient for successfully integrated planning.

Book excerpt: Retrenchment and reallocation processes at five public colleges and universities were studied: the University of Washington; University of Idaho; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; Michigan State University; and Seattle Community College District. After an overview of institutional approaches to retrenchment and reallocation, the five individual case studies highlight efforts by institutions under severe political, economic, and time pressure. The schools are located in three states that have been hit hardest by revenue shortfalls. Each case study includes an institutional profile, a chronology of events, and financial data. Factors that influence institutional responses of reallocation and retrenchment are covered, including the duration of the fiscal crisis, degree of management flexibility available to the institution, and diversification of institutional revenue sources. The following components of effective reallocation are described: faculty and constituent involvement in reallocation, assessment of institutional role and mission, quality of academic and support programs, and long-term versus short-term costs and benefits associated with reallocation.
