2 2 AMARILLO COLLEGE ADVISORY COMMITTEE HANDBOOK PURPOSE The purpose of this handbook is to describe the philosophy of Amarillo College concerning the use of advisory committees and to define the major functions and responsibilities of advisory committee members. PHILOSOPHY OF ADVISORY COMMITTEES The Career and Technical programs offered by Amarillo College are designed for students who desire an education in a specific occupational field. Each program is structured to meet specific employment opportunities that are expected to exist at the time students complete the educational process. The success of these programs in preparing a student to meet the job market requirements of a particular profession is dependent upon a close cooperation among the college and the businesses who will be seeking the graduates as employees. One method of ensuring this close cooperation is to utilize an advisory committee made up of prospective employers and their employees from outside the formal educational discipline. These committee members are professionals who can advise the educational staff on establishing and maintaining a quality program one that is current and provides an education that fulfills the needs of an entry-level employee. In Texas, program advisory committees are mandated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB). As the committee name implies, an advisory committee is strictly advisory in nature. Its function will be to assist and support the program manager rather than to administer, establish, or direct college policy. The THECB requires that each program advisory committee meet at least one time during each academic year. Some programs, accredited by external agencies, are required by those agencies to meet more often. 1

3 3 ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP Responsibility for the organization of an advisory committee and the selection of its members rests with the college. All committee members will be appointed by the Amarillo College President at the recommendation of the respective Program Manager. Advisory Committee Members should be residents of Amarillo and/or of those communities where program affiliates are located. A program affiliate is any business that has contracted with Amarillo College to provide students of the respective program with hands-on training in the discipline. The following criteria is used to select the advisory committee members: 1. The member should have a general interest in post secondary education. 2. The member should be willing to serve on the advisory committee, and any sub-committee, and attend the scheduled meetings. 3. The member should be willing to express and defend a point of view (be proactive). 4. The member should be willing to learn about the structure and operation of the Amarillo College program being served by the committee. Specific membership for any Advisory Committee (Committee-of-the-Whole) shall include the following members: 1. Adjunct Faculty from each Program Affiliate where students are placed for training purposes; 2. Community Representative (someone not directly associated with the discipline or Amarillo College); 3. Representative from Higher Education outside of the discipline; 4. Student Representative (elected by the student body); and, 5. Other Members as deemed appropriate by the Program Manager. If additional assistance is needed by the committee in solving a unique problem, special advisors may be invited by the college President and/or program Manager to provide such assistance. These experts would participate in the work of the committee on an ad hoc basis and serve strictly in an ex-officio capacity. Ex-officio membership for the Advisory Committee shall include the following positions: 1. Vice-President of Academic Affairs; 2. Instructional Dean; 3. Program Manager; 2

4 4 4. Program Faculty; 6. Respective Divisional Advisor; and, 7. Any special advisor that may be appointed. Ex-officio members may participate in all discussions but may not make motions or second motions and may not vote on any matter when a vote is taken. ADVISORY COMMITTEE FUNCTIONS The Advisory Committee shall be concerned with providing program assistance in each of the following areas: 1. Curriculum content (specific courses); 2. Curriculum pattern (order of courses); 3. Standards of excellence in all courses; 4. Student evaluation; 5. Student placement and program affiliations; 6. Employment needs surveys; 7. Recruitment of new students; 8. Admission procedures; 9. Graduate placement and follow-up; and, 10. Community College relations. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS The advisory committee shall be required to meet a minimum of one time during each school year but may meet more often as deemed necessary. Prior to the start of the annual meeting, the program manager shall appoint one committee member from the group to serve as the committee chairperson for that academic year. Specific duties of the chairperson include: 1. Preside at all meetings of the committee-of-the-whole; 2. Serve as an ex-officio member of all sub-committees; and, 3. Designate any sub-committee and appoint the committee chairperson and its members, and charge the committee with its specific assignment. 3

6 5/21/2014 The American University in Cairo 6 The Council of the School of Business (CSB) The Council of the School of Business (CSB) is one of the governing and advisory bodies in the School of Business. It is a representative council of the school s faculty, students and staff, and ensures their participation in the governance of the school and in the decision making process regarding important matters that affect the school community. Members of the council include faculty, staff, students and the dean, who is a non-voting member. The CSB also has a council chair, a co-chair, a rapporteur and a secretary. The council in itself is considered a forum and an important platform for the dean to discuss important and pressing issues with the school community, and to share updates and new school initiatives at least once every semester, and whenever necessary throughout the year. The CSB meets from six to eight times per year to discuss issues related to School of Business policies, academic programs, student affairs, faculty affairs and intellectual contribution, and comes up with resolutions and recommendations that address the dean of the School of Business. The CSB efforts are supported by five council committees that review important topics on the school level and send their report to the chair of the council to share with the council members. The committees are: 1. The Faculty Affairs Committee 2. The Academic Governance and Policy Committee 3. The Research and Grants Committee 4. The Budget Committee 5. The Assessment of Learning Standing Committee In addition to the five council committees, the chair of the CSB is authorized by the council members to form short-term ad hoc committees to discuss pressing issues and topics of a specific nature. The CSB also has an executive committee composed of the chair of the council, the co-chair of the council, the associate dean for undergraduate studies and administration, the associate dean for graduate studies and research, and the dean of the school as a non-voting member. The CSB is governed by the CSB bylaws that are updated whenever needed to reflect new policies developed and new committees formed.
