Progress Report 2008

Accreditation Progress Report 2008

The Accreditation Commission's letter (6/29/06) to LASC, after reviewing the Self-Study andMarch 2006 site visit, reaffirmed accreditation with a requirement that theLASC complete aProgress Reportby 3/15/08. The report will be followed by a visit by Commission representatives who will visit the college during spring 2008 semester.

In order to complete theProgress Report, a task force was organized to address the seven recommendations. The team, consisting of a dean and two faculty members, one of which was the Faculty Accreditation Co-Chair, developed a planning matrix (Appendix A) that was used to address the College recommendations. For each recommendation, specific objectives and corresponding activities were created with a timeline, persons responsible, and evidence list. The Self-Study planning agendas and team recommendations in the narrative were also used to formulate the objectives and activities. After receiving input from the President, the planning matrix was distributed to the broader campus community for input and approval. TheProgress Report, essentially a summary of actions taken from the matrix,was reviewed by the President and distributed to all constituency groups in December 2007 for final approval. Subsequently, theProgress Reportwas reviewed and received by theLACCD Board of Trusteeson 2/27/08.
