Accrediting Commission

Resolved that the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges recommend to the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges: 1. That in the review of the accrediting handbook the commission focus on the delineation of functions, enhancing the role of local academic senates in the accreditation process of their institutions. 2. That the commission consider procedures for involving the senates in the various stages of the accreditation process. 3. That, in the event objections or reservations reach the commission from a local senate, the Commission acknowledge receipt of those objections or reservations and make them a part of the accreditation process. 4. That the final report that is sent before publication to the college president for factual corrections also be sent to the co-signators for similar corrections and joint approval.
