The resolution and accompanying testimony were presented to ACCJC.The Commission did not remove this requirement.

Whereas, Draft B of the proposed accrediting standards requires that faculty be evaluated based on effectiveness in producing student learning outcomes, and such evaluation methods can place institutional pressure toward reduction of rigor and grading standards, especially in the absence of tenure or due process; and

Whereas, Draft B continues to weaken previous accreditation requirements for institutional support of programs, students, and faculty, all of which are essential underpinnings of student success;

Resolved, That the Academic Senate reaffirm Resolution2.06 F01 and urge the Accrediting Commission to remove the requirement that faculty be evaluated on the basis of student learning outcomes.
