About the Course:

For information on the Spring 2012 Deconstructing 'OE' DeCal please see this link: http://www.decal.org/courses/2093

The Deconstructing “Operational Excellence” DeCal grew out of an effort by the Associated Students of the University of California and the Graduate Assembly to hold the administration’s plan for “Operational Excellence” accountable to students.  This class is NOT an endorsement of “Operational Excellence”, instead it is a forum for students interested in or concerned about “OE” to understand more about this process, its context, and a resource for students enrolled to become critical, effective advocates on behalf of the student body at large. 

Students in the course will be given the opportunity to serve on "OE" committees as representatives or conduct an independent research project of the student's choosing.  In both cases students will be supported by other students in class and the facilitators. 

This class is a unique opportunity to participate in a course that will have a broad impact on the future of Cal and public education in general!

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE?

Anyone who is interested in learning more about “Operational Excellence,” helping students better understand “OE” and its context, and/or advocating on behalf of students to Administrators are strongly encouraged to join the course.   All students interested in the course are also encouraged to serve as student representatives on “OE” committees, but this is not a requirement for the course.  Students not involved as student representatives on “Operational Excellence” committees may participate in the DeCal by working on a project related to “OE” so that those who cannot or do not want to participate in committees can participate in the course.  For example, students could research the history of a specific aspect of “OE” in-depth, create resources to help inform other students on campus, compare UC Berkeley’s “OE” process to other similar projects on other campuses, or research the context surrounding “OE.”  These projects will be created by students in consultation with class facilitators.
