Reasons for Recommendation: An Advisory Council and its work provide evidence and accountability to external agencies and the public that academic programs meet needs which are appropriate to the community college mission. In particular, a Council’s input adds substance to the requests and recommendations of departmental chairs/heads and faculty related to curriculum, equipment, facilities and program review action plans. Fiscal Implications: None Consequences of Negative Action: Lack of individual expertise and career experiences on the Advisory Council. Furthermore, an inability to adhere to the Middle States Accreditation and SUNY regulations for academic programs. Steps Following Approval: Letters will be sent by President Quinn to individuals confirming appointments and reappointments. Contact Information If Any Questions: Richard C.
