The Micro-committee Approach
While the Academic Planning and Priorities Committee of Senate is leading this academic planning exercise, a number of focused working groups are responsible for completing tasks necessary to bring the project to conclusion. These working groups, or Micro-committees, comprise members of APP as well as non-APP members of Faculty and teaching staff who responded to an open call to particpate. Each Micro-committee completes one very focused task: the members are provided with preparation material and then meet once for approximately an hour to discuss the topic and make recommendations to APP. APP reviews the recommedations and determines the course going forward.
