Chain of Command
The organizational chart represents the chain of command for general education faculty and staff. The Chief Academic Officer (CAO) oversees all General Education programs offered at MCHP (currently, the Associate degree in Applied Health Science) and all accredited and non-accredited general education courses. The Dean of Health Sciences and General Education, Biological Sciences Lab Coordinator, full-time faculty and adjunct faculty report directly to the CAO.
All faculty and staff use the chain of command to discuss issues and/or report problems encountered in the work environment. General education faculty and staff are encouraged to resolve issues directly with involved parties as much as possible. If faculty or staff cannot come to an acceptable solution after meeting with the involved party, they are encouraged to follow the chain of command outlined above. Please do not omit anyone in the chain of command. A higher management level should only be involved first when the concern or problem involves a direct supervisor.
The Chief Academic Officer
The CAO is involved with programmatic growth and development. Time is spent meeting with College leadership and strengthening relationships with community partners. The CAO ensures that regional accreditation standards are followed. As acting dean, the CAO meets with the Dean of Health Sciences and General Education and ensures that program metrics are measured, and end-of-program student learning outcomes are analyzed. Data is used by the general education program to modify the curriculum and/or change instructional practices to ensure that learning outcomes are achieved. The CAO oversees faculty evaluations and promotions, course scheduling, faculty workload, and adjunct faculty recruitment and onboarding. The CAO also oversees the daily operations of the programs/courses, manages student issues, and addresses unresolved full-time and adjunct faculty concerns.
The Dean of Health Sciences and General Education
The Dean of Health Sciences and General Education (Dean of HSGE) develops course schedules, recruits and onboards full-time and adjunct faculty to teach in the health sciences and general education division, ensures syllabi contain specified content and that they comply with syllabus criteria established by MCHP, gathers and analyzes assessment data for division courses, follows up with full-time and adjunct faculty each semester in reviewing their individual course assessments and action plans, ensures course and program learning outcomes are appropriate and align with institutional learning outcomes, schedules and implements regular divisional meetings with full-time and adjunct faculty, supports the teaching needs of all faculty teaching in the division.
