Octopi and chromatophores: RFC - REQUEST FOR COMMENT about WUaS Organizational and Management Structure for BPPE forms, Arabic, English, Spanish, French, Russian, Mandarin, Wiki, Like Wikipedia with MIT OCW (not endorsed by MIT)



REQUEST FOR COMMENT about WUaS's Governance and Management Structure: 

worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com 


{While I'm using the word 'officer' below in response to the state of California's forms, a better word might be 'clerk' in both Quaker and possibly NtF senses, - as facilitator, - or even 'vibe synthesizer' or possibly musical conductor, and even minister, although in a non-religious sense.}


Hi WUaS Board Plus, 

Item 5 in the BPPE forms asks for a separate document: 

"5. ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT (5 C.C.R. Section 71140)
Include an organization chart that shows the governance and administrative structure of the institution and the relationship between faculty and administrative positions." 

I've included this draft as a PDF with a request for comment.

Let's also plan to come into further communication about this, and other BPPE items +, at the WUaS Annual Board Meeting in 8 days, on Saturday, October 12th. 

Sincerely, 
Scott

Hi Scott -

I would see if you can track down org charts from other colleges or universities as examples (perhaps from Larry). The request is for a chart per se (not just text). No need to include anything about plans to be in other languages that we don't have yet.

Great, G, 

Seems like you might be taking on a WUaS Chief Operating Officer role already (vis-a-vis the BPPE form - http://www.bppe.ca.gov/forms_pubs/approval_nonaccredited.pdf). 

Your email jogged my memory about these UC Berkeley Meetings, structures and committees' links which I had posted in my blog on March 15, 2013 - 
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2013/03/california-grizzly-cub-alaska-uc.html - for example - http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/meetings/agendas/mar13.html. L or J, do you have other flow charts of university organizational structures that might be relevant, per Gantt's question below, and the BPPE form? 

For the WUaS Organization and Management item 5 BPPE question which I attached a draft about yesterday to the WUaS Board Plus email, I initially had 'flow chart boxes' around each role making this document a flow chart, but they seemed unnecessary after this structure became obvious. I've attached this updated PDF again adding a countries page, having received an email yesterday, from a Wikidata list, with countries in Wikidata which the most digital geo-coordinates. Articulating countries with languages now in terms of Organization and Management is the next step in this flow chart development. 

Moving on from item 5 in the BPPE forms, item 14 in the BPPE form does explicitly ask about the number of languages, instruction in them, etc. And WUaS is also building on MIT OCW's translated courses - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ - for free accredited, CC, university degrees - bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D. degrees, as well as IB diplomas. Whether we include languages and countries in item 5 will be a question for subsequent iterations of these organization and management drafts for the BPPE form.

I'll plan to add this RFC (request for comment) to both WUaS's and my blogs to see if we can generate more conversation, thoughts and ideas about these seminal, organizational steps in WUaS's development. 

WUaS plans to create many, many, good, online, academic jobs worldwide, and in many, many languages and countries (with lots of fundraising ahead). 

Best, 
Scott

Greetings Scott,

This is a quick research on Universities of Spain, that might serve to start with.

Organization structures of Universities I'm familiar with: 

Others: 

Cheers,

Juan
PS: Please use this email for communications.

HI J (CAO), G (COO?), L (CFO), V (CSO?) and Universitians, 

Thanks, and I changed around some of your emails on three WUaS lists, adding mendezr@universidadquantum.es. 

Interesting to see how Google Translate translates organizational information from the four Spanish universities you emailed. It doesn't translate flow chart boxes, interestingly. 

I'm assuming you're still up for being Chief Academic Officer for the WUaS BPPE forms. 

What do Universitians think about having WUaS monthly business meeting (with decision making and 'structure' in the manner of f/Friends) above the Board in the hierarchical, flow chart I sent? I like its openness and the democracy it represents, and its replicability in many languages. 

I think large languages, and the many countries they are in, will articulate in terms of eventually hiring WUaS MIT and other great universities' graduate students as graduate student instructors, and then later hiring academics, presidents and officers in these languages and countries. 

I'd love to think through WUaS Board structure focus. For one, the WUaS Board may eventually be involved in hiring various WUaS Officers in various languages and countries, for example. 

Cheers, 

Scott
