Abstract

This presentation will describe modifications to the flat organizational model on our campus and the impact of those changes on department chairs. More specifically, we will discuss how a task force of department chairs developed an approach creating a more autonomous role for the chair.

Keywords: flat administrative model, team-based approach, autonomy of chairs, chairs council, organizational structure
