How We’re Organized
Unity Environmental University adopted an Enterprise Education model in 2017 as our organizational structure. Within this model, work Units are organized under Functional Areas, and Units are either centralized or decentralized.
Centralized Units
Those Units that best serve Unity Environmental University Enterprise [UE] and SEBUs by being coordinated and standardized across Unity Environmental University [Unity]. These units are shared services and represent the institutional perspective. Centralized Units are supervised by Chief Officers [CO] or the Heads of the Functional Areas to which the Units belong.
Decentralized Units
Those Units that best serve SEBUs by being differentiated within each SEBU according to specific SEBU needs. Decentralized Units are directly supervised by the Head of the SEBU and decisions and control about the implementation of activities are made at the SEBU level. Decentralized Units have some centralized assessment, compliance, and high-level policy provided by the Head of the Functional Area to which the Units belong. The Head of the SEBU has the final decision-making authority over decentralized Units unless the decision violates policy or compliance.
