101 - Delegation Administration
Community Campus Delegation 101: Delegation Administration
Purpose
To delegate the authority and responsibility to the community campus administrative units so they can operate effectively and efficiently to support the academic and research functions of their campuses.
Policy
Basis for DelgationLevels of authority will be granted to the individual community campuses based on
review of resources, training and past performance.
ResponsibilitiesDelegations are made to the Directors/President of the community campuses directly
from the Chancellor. The delegation is not only for the authority to perform specified
tasks, but is also for the responsibility to ensure that proper policies and procedures
are followed in all areas. It is up to the Director/President to ensure that internal
controls and procedures are in place to effectively comply with the level of delegation.
RedelegationThe Directors/President will have the flexibility to redelegate levels of authority
unless redelegation is specifically prohibited (i.e., representational account). Redelegations
will be documented and communicated to the Vice Chancellor for Administration. A redelegation
of authority does not relieve the Directors/President from the responsibility of ensuring
that appropriate controls are in place to maintain accountability and conformance
with policies and procedures.
ReviewThe authority and levels of delegation will be reviewed periodically. Revisions will
be made as identified in that review or when changes to superseding policies and regulations
occur. The Chancellor, as head of the major administrative unit, reserves the right
to alter delegations as necessary.
Policy InterpretationAlthough community campuses with delegated authority are free to act independently
within that delegation and within the limitations of policy and regulations, they
are encouraged to consult with the offices at the Anchorage campus for clarifications
and interpretations as needed.
TrainingThe Anchorage campus will provide training to ensure that the community campuses can
carry out the delegated responsibilities. Staff development activities will be provided
to encourage professional growth and opportunities for networking and sharing ideas.
Policy DevelopmentThe community campus personnel will be involved in the development of policies and
procedure that affect their campuses.
