The Shape of Planning: Effective Planning Organization in Universities and Colleges

Presenter(s): Philip J. Parsons, Parsons Consulting Group; O. Robert Simha, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Convener: Ann Newman, State University of New York at Buffalo

Learn about how planning is organized in colleges and universities, and various models for a reporting structure, staffing, and funding. Is physical planning seen as a discrete function, or is it integrated with financial and academic planning? What alternative models exist, and are some more successful than others? This session will explore different approaches to organizing an integrated approach to planning, and will allow participants to evaluate their own planning structures and compare them with those of colleagues in other institutions.

This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-seventh annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–37, in San Diego, CA (USA), in July of 2002.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–37 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP–37, our digital archives of SCUP–37 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
