Job Description of Associate Dean for a division vs. a department chair
Financial plan for incremental phase-in of a Divisional Structure:
Proposal for phase-in: Reduce to four divisions as a mid-range goal:
• Foundation• Division Head 1• Division Head 2• Division Head 3
Concept:
• Associate Dean of a Division would be a 12 month administrative position with faculty status and an opportunity to teach at least one course. Associate Deans would report to current Dean of Undergraduate Programs and Faculty (perhaps with modified job title)
Remuneration: Division Assoc. Dean salary • Rationale: Salary should be a minimum
at $90,000.00
• Average Faculty Salary: $69,600.00
• Would nominally need $20,000.00 per Division Head + $22,500.00 in part time salaries (5 courses X $4,500.00)=
$ 20,000.00$ 22,500.00$ 42,500.00 per Division Head
Timeline/Sequence for Phase-In
AY11:
• Affirm concept of mid-range divisional structure. • Reminder- Foundation as a Division with
Divisional Assoc. Dean in place.• Begin process of searching for and appointing
Divisional Assoc. Dean in AY12
AY12:
• Appoint one Division Head in addition to Foundation Head
• This individual would have a modified job description, ie., would act as a general associate dean until a second Division was appointed.
• Begin search for 3rd Division Head
Timeline/Sequence for Phase-In
AY13 (or as soon as possible):
• Appoint 3rd Divisional Assoc. Dean .
Timeline/Sequence for Phase-In
Divisional Organization
• Value of a discipline based approach
• Disciplines/Departments vs Majors
• Alignment of Administrative Assistance, Academic Advising, Career Development w/Divisions

Proposal for Phase-InReduce to four divisions as a mid-range goal:
• Foundation• Liberal Arts• Fine Arts • Design & Media
AY11: Affirm concept of mid-range divisional structure.
• Reminder- Foundation is a Division with leadership in place.
• Begin process of searching for and appointing a Divisional Assoc. Dean in AY12
AY12: Appoint one Associate Dean for a division in addition to Associate Dean for Foundation
• Would be selected to serve as either Associate Dean of Design & Media or Fine Arts
AY13 (or as soon as possible):
• Appoint Associate Dean to whichever of the two divisions cited above is not covered (Design & Media or Fine Arts)
Rationale3 Divisional Associate Deans would be appointed
by AY13
• Collectively, would oversee all of the undergraduate studio programs.
• Liberal Arts would be last to appoint an Associate Dean
Selection Process• Chairs and other faculty representatives from
the appropriate division would form a search committee under the leadership of the Dean for Undergraduate Studies and Faculty. A position description would be developed and advertised, first and primarily in house. Given our experience with other similar positions in Academic Affairs, we may have to identify individuals with this kind of leadership potential and encourage them to apply.
By AY13, we could imagine an undergraduate management structure that would consist of :
• Foundation• Design & Media• Fine Arts• Art History (Chair)• Humanistic Studies (Chair)
Under the Dean of Undergraduate Programs and Faculty, this group would constitute the Dean’s Advisory Committee.
• AY14 (or sooner): Appoint an Associate Dean of Liberal Arts
• AY14 and beyond: Continue to make Associate Dean appointments
that fulfill the ideal model.
What’s Not Working
• Communication• Clarity in Decision-Making
Criteria for New Management Organization
• Can’t cost (a lot) more• Feasible- High likelihood of implementation• Rational, efficient, and functional interface with
faculty governance• Manage and support complexity• Create appropriately scaled management
communities• Provide clear responsibility for decision-
making• Create clear lines of communication
