SUNY Orange Memo To: Department Chairs From: Christine Work Date: 3/10/2006 Re: External Review Team HONORARIUM for SUNY Assessment of Programs This memo is to inform Department Chairs that an Honorarium will be awarded to the external review team in the amount of $250.00 per reviewer (maximum of two (2) reviewers). The process by which payments are to be made to reviewers is described below. As a requirement of the SUNY assessment of programs, programs are to organize a campus visit by an external review team. During this visit, external review team members will review the program and prepare a report outlining the program�s strengths, weaknesses, and recommendations for improvement. There is agreement that the time and effort of the review team members must be recognized and compensated for in a consistent and fair manner. The Vice President of Academic Affairs, Catherine Chew has determined that an honorarium of $250.00 be awarded to each member of the review team. At this time, the honorarium will be paid from the Assessment Coordinator�s budget. To receive checks for payment, a voucher from the Business Office must be completed, signed by the requisitioner, and forwarded to Christine Work to sign for approval. The voucher asks for information on who to make check(s) payable. If you have any questions regarding this process of payment for your external review team members, please contact, Christine Work at x4182 or cwork@sunyorange.edu. 1
