Governance
Attention to better governance will become an institutional goal:
-
The effectiveness of faculty is diminished through lack of feedback, over-large classes, and inability to interact with colleagues.
-
During the planning period, regular faculty review will be reintroduced. Class sizes and faculty load will be monitored.
-
The faculty has asked repeatedly for the creation of focused opportunities for greater contact between the Board and the seminary community. This request should be honored to enable broader consultation in defined areas, but without eroding the prerogatives of either the Board or the Administration.
-
It is an aim to devolve a number of faculty-related budgets to subcommittees elected by the faculty. These will include research grants and additional travel.
-
Every effort will be made to encourage the semi-independent constituents of the Seminary fully to become members of a single institution sharing a common mission with a rational and transparent allocation of resource.
The Board is encouraged to explore the collaborative relationship to the Center of Theological Inquiry.
