Updated Timeline

The Support Task Force has been hard at work finalizing the template for administrative support functions. The Prioritization process is complex and the team has been working diligently to design a template that allows each support function to effectively tell its story. This complexity is driven by the unique properties of each support function. We are at a point where we can share with the campus important dates and next steps regarding the Prioritization process for the Support Task Force.

The template and scoring rubric for the administrative support functions will be published on the Chancellor’s Prioritization website on December 16^th.

You will be able to begin entering template information when the system goes live on January 17^th. We are pleased to announce today that all functions will have in excess of eight weeks to work on the template questions. Templates will then be due for submission no later than March 17^th. There will be a single deadline for all support functions.

The Support Task Force will hold a series of briefings between the template publish date and the submission deadline. These briefings will help the campus understand the process and provide an avenue to ask questions. The first briefing will be on December 18^th from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm in RH101. Additional briefings will be held in the months of January, February, and March, with the exact dates to be announced in the next few weeks.
