Decision Package #5
Increasing the Number of Team Liberation Trainings
Proposal: To increase from two to three the number of Human Relations Facilitator Trainings offered by Team Liberation annually.
Rationale: The number of participants in trainings in recent years has increased, and the program suspects the number will continue to increase as knowledge of the existence and utility of the training becomes more widespread. If that is the case, in order to accommodate the increasing number of students seeking to participate in the training, a third training will need to be set up. (Merely increasing the number of participants in each training past the current point is actually counterproductive, as it decreases the quality of the training experience for each participant; trainings have generally been at their maximum reasonable capacity for the last year or two.) With the possibility of decreasing the size of each training, Team Liberation estimates that fewer trainers can be provided for each training, thus helping to hold down costs. If a third training is available, it will likely take place either before classes begin (thus dovetailing with the first decision package – there will be plenty of work for the GTA to do to prepare for that training in August and September), during spring break, or concurrent with one of the existing trainings in December or June.
Associated Costs: 24599 -Other Professional Services: $2,100
Total Requested: $2,100
Note: Team Liberation believes it can absorb the cost of materials and publicity for the third training in its existing budget, and so is asking only for increased funding for professional services.
