Integration Working Groups

University Integrations System Redesign 

Consultative Path

Regional leadership teams are driving the integration planning in northeast and west under the guidance of presidents Bashar Hanna (Bloomsburg University) and Dale-Elizabeth Pehrsson (Clarion University), respectively. Both teams have formed a total of 19 working groups: 10 parallel groups, 5 region-specific groups, and 4 joint (cross-regional) groups working together on issues that are common across the regions.

Key constituency groups have been invited to nominate experts to join the working groups and will have an opportunity to engage directly in integration planning work.

Additionally, 
  • University presidents will keep university constituencies abreast of planning work through the normal consultation processes, and
  • At the state level, an integration planning advisory board is being established to ensure ongoing input is received from councils of trustees, student government associations, collective bargaining units, board members, and legislators. 

Overview

The framework for the Integration Working Groups include:
  • Integrations Overall Charter – Provides the purpose and organizational structure for the overall Integrations initiative, including integration guidelines with guiding principles. 
  • Working Group Charter – Defines the roles and responsibilities of the Working Groups and articulates the purpose, goals, principles, scope, roles, and deliverables with which the Working Groups are charged.
