ChargeThe College Instructional Equipment Committee operates as a subcommittee of the Planning and Resource Allocation Committee to ensure faculty, staff and student involvement in recommending allocations for instructional equipment. The Committee will make recommendations to the Planning and Resource Allocation Committee regarding the specific instructional equipment allocations.  Standard forms will be used and proposals will be elicited from every department. Requestors will send copies to the supervising Dean/Manager.
