Master Plan Vision

Faculty, staff and the Board of Trustees, through insight gained from the College's Strategic Plan and the Self-Study Report, have outlined a vision. The College's vision is predicated on its, past, mission, community need and its financial capabilities.

The master plan vision is divided into different program areas that the College is either currently involved in or anticipates becoming involved. The general assumptions made relative to this vision are as follows:

ADMINISTRATION

The College will remain a fully comprehensive two-year institution.
 A locally elected Board of Trustees, local control, with local tax financing will be maintained while complying with all State and Federal regulations.
The College will collaborate with school districts, business and industry, and four-year colleges such as Southern Illinois University, Greenville College, and Eastern Illinois University.
The College will function under a shared governance fully participatory model. The structure will be flat with active lines of communication. The decision-making process will consist of a committee structure and College Council operated under a "Consensus Democracy" model as outlined in the Decision-Making Model.
The administrative structure, duties, and functions will be evaluated and modified regularly for effectiveness.
