Ourso College of Business through engagement and participation in the various activities of the DAC. The DAC’s purpose is to support the dean in his efforts to enhance the substance and image of the college.
DAC has two committees, and each DAC member serves on one of the committees. Committees of the DAC serve as active task forces to support the intended achievement of the E. J. Ourso College of Business’ five-year strategic plan. Committees usually meet by phone between full DAC meetings.
Attendance is expected at both semiannual meetings, which are held in the fall and the spring. At a minimum, members must attend one meeting per year.

2.3 Committee Roles DAC Handbook 2020
Committee Roles
The DAC has two committees, and each member serves on one. Committees of the DAC serve as active task forces to support the intended achievement of the E. J. Ourso College of Business’ five-year strategic plan. Career Connections The purpose of the Career Connections Committee is to support the Office of Business Students Success’ (OBSS) effort to ensure graduates are well prepared to enter into a career path that suits their skills and passion. The Career Connections Committee also supports the efforts of OBSS in increasing experiential learning opportunities, such as internships, mentoring, and career exploration. Development
The purpose of the Development Committee is to cultivate an enduring culture of philanthropy that will sustain and strengthen LSU and the E. J. Ourso College of Business. In order to contribute to an environment that encourages philanthropy, DAC has a responsibility to help shape the college’s overall fundraising direction and activities. With support from staff, the Development Committee members will:
• Set fundraising goals and priorities: Ensure alignment of fundraising goals with the strategic direction of the college and university. To engender credibility from stakeholders, the college’s multiyear priorities and annual fundraising goals must clearly line up with the strategic plan laid out by the dean and institutional leaders.
• Monitor fundraising performance of the college and the DAC: Understand and evaluate the cost of fundraising and alumni relations efforts – and the return on investment.
• Advocate for support: Make a financial contribution to the college at a level of personal significance. Facilitate and encourage DAC members’ engagement in fundraising efforts. Leverage personal and business networks to cultivate peer-to-peer relationships with potential supporters.
2.4 Dean’s Role DAC Handbook 2020
Dean’s Role
The Academic Dean - Typical Characteristics of Academic Deans,
Career Path to the Academic Deanship from StateUniversity.com
Academic deans are typically the highest ranking academic officials in an institution, next only to the president or chancellor and the provost or chief academic officer. Academic deans preside over colleges, schools, or divisions comprised of a cluster of disciplines or disciplinary specialties, such as arts and sciences, engineering, fine arts, business, natural sciences, education, and health sciences. Most academic deans are situated in the institutional hierarchy as reporting to vice presidents or provosts; however, some hold the dual title of dean and vice president, a situation that is often an artifact of institution size and type. Smaller liberal arts institutions and community colleges, where numbers of faculty are fewer, may have a dean of faculty or academic dean who has jurisdiction over faculty in all disciplines. Deans' roles frequently vary according to academic field, institution type, and institutional context. In institutions marked by higher levels of disciplinary specialization, such as research and doctoral institutions, the number of academic deans is larger so as to accommodate the unique leadership demands of the diverse disciplinary programs housed in the institution. Drawn from the senior faculty ranks, academic deans are seen by many as serving a dual role, that of scholar and administrator, particularly in institutions that place high value on research and publication in assessing faculty performance. Terms of appointment are

2.4 Dean’s Role DAC Handbook 2020
typically in the range of five to seven years, and while appointments may be extended, very few serve more than ten years in a deanship position. This is no doubt due to the demands inherent in the role and the associated stress characteristic of the management environment. Deans answer to a variety of constituents, including faculty, the central campus administration, students, and alumni, and in order to be effective must be capable of understanding and serving their often disparate interests and conflicting goals. Deans serve both academic and administrative purposes in that they are responsible for hiring department chairs and providing management oversight to bureaucratic processes within the unit. Depending on unit size, deans often have some number of associate and assistant deans to whom they delegate responsibilities associated with administrative functions related to finances, facilities, personnel, and management of academic or curricular programs. The position's uniqueness lies in its routine contact with a broad range of institutional constituents–the president or chancellor, the chief academic affairs officer, the faculty, students, external stakeholders such as donors and corporate supporters, and in some cases the boards that provide institutional or unit oversight. The unique position occupied by academic deans places them at the forefront of institutional change. Decision-making responsibilities of academic deans typically encompass the following areas: (a) educational program/curriculum; (b) faculty selection, promotion, and development; (c) student affairs; (d) finance; (e) physical facilities development; and (f) public and alumni relations. Given the comprehensiveness of responsibility, it is not uncommon for the role of academic deans in larger, more complex institutions to resemble that of a chief executive officer of a moderately sized business enterprise. Resources under their control are often into the tens, sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars in large research institutions. With diminishing state support of higher education and increased operational costs, the need to identify new sources of revenue has increased considerably, and the work of garnering such support has become a primary function of academic deans in most institutional settings. Responsibilities associated with fundraising, the increasingly complex financial environment presented by issues of student access and equity, and increasing numbers of part-time faculty has made the role of the academic dean far more complex than it has been in the past.

3.7 Development Support Fee DAC Handbook 2020
LSU Foundation Development Support Fee
The Development Support Fee is a 5 percent fee on all gifts made on or after July 1, 2013. The fee is split between the LSU Foundation, which retains 3 percent of the gift for its development efforts, and the beneficiary, which retains 2 percent of the gift for its dean- or director-level development fund. If the gift is to an endowed account, the fee will be drawn, over a period of one or more fiscal years, from future spending allocations for that account. The dollar amount collected will not exceed 50 percent of the spending allocation for a given year. The Development Support Fee provides working capital to fund immediate needs and/or special projects of the college(s) and/or unit(s) that each donor supports, and it assists the LSU Foundation in raising private dollars for scholarships, faculty support, facilities, and similar initiatives.
