In 2011-2012, a full cycle was completed by each of the three committees responsible for recommending resource allocations: Fiscal Planning Committee, Technology Committee on Accreditation and Planning (TechCAP), and Facilities Committee on Accreditation and Planning (FacilitiesCAP). As part of this process, at the beginning of each annual planning cycle, the Vice President of Business Services informs each of the three committees of the status of the requests prioritized the previous year. For example, the Vice President will outline which technology equipment was purchased, which items arrived at the campus, which items were still on order, and which items were still waiting to be ordered. Reporting this information completes the feedback process from the previous fiscal year, and begins the resource allocation process for the next year. A summary of the prioritization results is posted in TracDat and on the website.
