Principles for Recommendations
The following are the principles that should be used to evaluate the recommendations the subcommittee brings forth:
- Address the charge
- Are evidence based -- supported by research and evaluation
- Are sustainable -- to be institutionalized; sufficient in dose and follow-up
- Are realistic -- administration is able to support, adequate staffing, involve students; consistently enforce
- Have an identified, adequate funding source if necessary
- Are integrated -- campus/community partnership
- Are adopted by consent of the Task Force members
