First Draft

Do we all have to turn in draft plans?

• Yes, all units must turn in full drafts (as full as you can) by the deadline. These drafts will be reviewed by our reviewing team. The reviewing team is composed of two DPCB professional staff and two non-DPCB staff. Each unit will receive a Reviewer’s Report after they submit their information. The information from the Reviewer’s Report is meant to help units improve their plans before final submission.

How detailed do drafts have to be?

• Drafts should be as detailed and complete as possible.

Is our draft plan answering all questions?

• Yes, your draft should have a response to each question and section of the plan.

 Does the RACI chart get submitted?

• Yes, the RACI chart is submitted as part of your plan. The RACI chart will build accountability into the plan but will also allow us to assist your unit as you progress. We will be providing support for units as the year progresses with each goal. The RACI charts will help us provide support in as timely of a fashion as possible.

What are the actual deadlines for the plan?

• Drafts for Non-Academic Units are due on October 15th with the finalized plans due on July 8, 2022.
• Drafts for Academic Unit and Regional Campuses are due on November 19th with the finalized plans due on July 8, 2022.

How do we submit the plan?

• In September, the link to submit your plan will be shared with each unit lead. It will also be made available on the website. Check back in September for the link to take you to the submission database.

When will we hear feedback on our drafts?

• Each plan will be reviewed in the order that they are received. Units can expect to hear back as early as three weeks post submission, if submitted early. The Division of People, Culture and Belonging will make every effort to provide reports to units in a timely fashion.   Plans submitted between November 2021 and January 2022  should expect a response by mid-March at the latest.
