Administrative Innovation and Process Review (AIPR) Task Force
Task Force Sponsor: Phyllis Clark, Vice-President (Finance & Administration)
The mandate of the AIPR Task Force is to conduct reviews of University-wide administrative processes and individual administrative units or processes in order to seek efficiencies and streamline cumbersome processes.
The Task Force seeks input from members of the University community to help identify administrative processes that are overly cumbersome or inefficient. The Task Force will focus on areas that will a) optimize the operational efficiency of a unit or process, b) enhance customer service, c) present new opportunities for cost containment, and/or d) create opportunities for revenue enhancement.
The Task Force is co-chaired by Mary Persson, Associate Vice-President (Audit and Analysis) and Sheree Kwong See, Associate Dean (Teaching and Learning), Faculty of Arts.
