In accordance with section 5.4.5(d1) of the NSHE Code, this committee shall prepare recommendations for a plan to implement the discontinuance or reduction in size of administrative units, projects, programs or curricula, to include furloughs or faculty lay-offs if necessary, due to the financial exigency. Each such plan shall establish the criteria necessary for recommending and determining such actions. No other GBC committee shall participate directly in this process, although the members of the above committee shall obtain input from all departments and branches within the college, as specified by the process below. Post all minutes of the Task Force to the GBC website for the perusal of all faculty and staff, in a manner similar to what UNLV is doing; Agree to follow the processes specified in the NSHE Code for financial exigency and curricular termination (sections 5.4.5, 5.4.6, 5.4.7, and 5.9.2), whether or not the System shall declare formally a state of financial exigency, and whether or not one or more of these subsections (or any portion thereof) shall have been suspended by the Regents. Adopt a process for curricular review similar to that of UNLV, as outlined below. The deans and vice presidents, in consultation with the appropriate leadership groups and faculty in their units evaluate the programs in their unit in high, middle and low performing/priority groups. The VPs, supervising deans, and department chairs prepare recommendations for elimination or reorganization of low performing programs, including a written plan for relocation of faculty/staff in any units that are being eliminated. The deans (and/or VPs) consult with the impacted programs and program committees and receive a vote from the faculty of the impacted units supporting or not supporting their proposed actions. The recommendations, along with records of consultation are forwarded to the GBC Budget Task Force (BTF). The BTF assesses all the recommendations for elimination or reorganization of units from deans, departments, and VPs. They ensure that consultation has occurred and may request additional information as needed to support their recommendation. The BTF prepares a recommendation for program elimination or modification along with their vote supporting or not supporting the department/dean/VP action. These are transmitted to the Presidents Council for comment and consideration and are then forwarded to the President for final recommendation. Programs that the President recommends for reorganization/elimination are then advanced to the Board of Regents for the approval of the President's recommendations.
