Appendix II
Organizational Structure for the Development
of a UW-Green Bay Action Plan
Equality for Women in the University of Wisconsin
System:
A Focus for Action in the Year 2000
Goal of the Project
President Katharine Lyall, issued a report in October 1999, "Equality
for Women in the University of Wisconsin System: A Focus for Action
in the Year 2000," and asked Chancellors to establish a process
to address its recommendations on their campuses.
The goal of the process at UW-Green Bay will be to develop an action
plan establishing a coordinated set of goals and objectives to address
the recommendations outlined in this UW System report. The action
plan will cover a period of five years (2001-2006) and will be organized
around four major areas.
* Opportunities for Women Students
* Hiring, Promotion and Retention of Faculty, Academic Staff, and
Classified Staff
* Enhancing the Learning and Working Environment
* Balancing Work and Personal Life.
Overall Organizational Structure
The responsibility for developing the UW-Green Bay action plan will
rest with a Planning and Oversight Committee. The Committee will be
co-chaired by a member of the faculty and a member of the academic
staff and will also include faculty, academic staff, classified staff
and students serving on four work teams. Each work team will focus
on one of the issues listed above. The proposed composition of the
Planning and Oversight Committee and work teams is described below.
Membership of Planning and Oversight Committee
Work team co-chairs and representatives of the classified staff and
students, who are also members of the work teams, will comprise the
Planning and Oversight Committee. The Committee will be comprised
of fifteen (15) members.
* Faculty Member (Co-Chair)
* Academic Staff Member (Co-Chair)
* Four (4) Faculty (co-chairs of work teams)
* Four (4) Academic Staff (co-chairs of work teams)
* Three (3) Classified Staff (selected from the work teams)
* Two (2) Students (selected from the work teams)
Membership of Work Teams
Work teams will consist of nine (9) to twelve (12) members. Teams
should include a substantial number of women, but men should be represented
as well. Consideration should be given to including a mix of individuals
in the early stages of their careers and those with a great deal of
experience. Other characteristics, including faculty and staff with
family responsibilities and traditional versus non-traditional aged
students should be considered where relevant. The suggested composition
of each work team is as follows:
1. Opportunities for Women Students
(Total: 10)
Three (3) faculty; three (3) academic staff;
three (3) students; one (1) classified staff
2. Hiring, Promotion, and Retention of Faculty, Academic and Classified
Staff (Total: 9)
Three (3) faculty; three (3) academic staff;
two (2) classified; one (1) student
3. Enhancing the Learning and Working Environment (Total: 11)
Three (3) faculty; three (3) academic staff;
three (3) classified staff; two (2) students
4. Balancing Work and Personal Life (Total: 12)
Three (3) faculty; three (3) academic staff;
three (3) classified staff; three (3) students
General Charge
Each of the four work teams will be asked to review a series of suggested
initiatives related to one of the four recommendations contained in
the "Equality for Women in the UW System" report. Each team
will then submit a written summary of their findings to the Planning
and Oversight Committee. The written summary will include the following
components:
The Planning and Oversight Committee will be responsible for monitoring
and sharing work team efforts, and shaping the summary reports into
a comprehensive action plan. Recommendations will be subject to the
review of appropriate governance and administrative groups before
being implemented.
Meeting Schedule
The work teams will prepare their summaries primar-ily during three,
daylong meetings. Reviews of drafts and other materials will take
place using e-mail or the telephone between meetings. The daylong
meetings will be held during the workweek in late September, mid October,
and mid November. The Planning and Oversight Committee will prepare
the institution's Action Plan using the same type of approach during
the months of December and January.
