First Charge to CAA Ad Hoc Committee on Centers

• The committee is charged to study the current process and guidelines for establishment of Academic Centers and to make a recommendation about the need for change.
   
  
• If the committee determines that modifications are needed they are asked to draft specific changes to the existing guidelines.
   
  
• The committee is also charged to establish guidelines for 5-year reviews of recently approved and future centers. Specifically:
   
  
  • Review the processes used at comparable universities.
     
    
  • Seek input from members of the Ohio State community who have been involved in establishment of centers.
     
    
  • Coordinate closely with the Research Committee's Center Subcommittee.
     
    
  • Review the proposal from the President's and Provost's Advisory Committee on Procedures for Creating Centers.
     
    
  • Consider any fiscal implications associated with awarding or redirecting internal funds and any implications associated with budget restructuring.
