Options Considered. Since I became Chair of the Department of Comparative Literature and Languages in July 2017, we have experience significant scheduling challenges in relation to our lower-division language courses. In order to coordinate our language courses with the majors to which they are related (for example, the Japanese major requires that students take courses in Japanese language, literature, and culture; the same is the case for our majors and minors in German, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, and others), each language program is coordinated by a Senate faculty member, who is responsible for allocating teaching roles and proposing course schedules for Lecturers on a quarterly basis. Historically, this has meant that our Department has forwarded a schedule of courses for each language program, which is collated, along with the language courses in the Hispanic Studies Department, by the Enrollment Manager and, then, Registrar. In my experience as Chair, each quarter, after the Registrar would run the scheduling algorithm, a number of lower-division language courses in the Department of Comparative Literature and Languages would be returned to us as unschedulable, after first, second, and third time-slot options had been taken into account. This would then lead to the quite unenviable situation, where 5 or 6 lecturers needed to change their course schedules one quarter in advance of the time when that schedule was to be implemented; this led to massive complications, the reorganization of program teaching schedules, the collapse of sections—and event that has long-term program enrollment consequences—and other undesirable outcomes; it is this quandary which led me to re-think our approach to scheduling these courses in general. To re-think scheduling in this way, I met, on several occasions, and for some duration in each instance, with Xxxx Xxxxxxxx (Director of Enrollment Management), Xxxx Xxxxxxxx (Advisor Supervisor), and Xxx Xxxxxxx (Enrollment Manager). The consensus that we reached was that each Department in question—Comparative Literature and Languages and Hispanic Studies— should assume complete control over the scheduling of the 8 language teaching rooms. At that time, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx studied the enrollment histories of both Departments over a 5-year period, and determined that, historically, Comparative Literature and Languages has offered approximately 50 lower-division language courses per quarter, and Hispanic Studies, 30. Based upon this information, the two D...
Options Considered. Option 1: Cease funding and withdraw from the partnership.
Options Considered. 14.1 Four main options were considered for Telephony provision and are all explored in detail in the attached Business Case.
Options Considered. Other NDSEC locations require long bus rides for our students. In-District locations are therefore preferred. Fund Affected
Options Considered. 16. The Government has made it clear that RTPI systems are an essential element in increasing bus patronage. In order to progress the Salisbury RTPI system, it is necessary for the County Council to enter into an SLA with Wilts and Dorset Bus Company Limited. The Agreement will cover a 15-year period and it is necessary for the County Council to underwrite the balance of the maintenance costs before the Agreement can be completed. If the County Council does not complete the SLA with Wilts and Dorset, the RTPI system in Salisbury and the extension onto the four inter-urban routes cannot operate and the funding provided by the Government will have to be returned. Recommendation
