The Administrative Process Review Committee (APRC)
The APRC formed in response to goal 4 of the University’s Strategic Plan, “Enhance organizational excellence by creating a culture of constant improvement.” In its commitment to constant process improvement, the APRC works collaboratively across campus to identify and evaluate opportunities for efficiency improvement and cost reduction. The Committee serves as a conduit for faculty, staff and students to suggest changes in administrative processes.
Anyone can contact the APRC by reaching out to a Committee member or completing the online form to offer an idea of a needed improvement or suggestion for a way to improve an existing process on campus. No idea is too small or too large. The APRC has provided suggestions on ways to enhance communication for greater transparency all the way to recommending a new position be created to better serve campus customer needs. You can read more about the APRC’s work in FAQs, Current Projects and Reports, Publications & News.
