Progress Report 2008

Accreditation Progress Report 2008

The Accreditation Commission's letter (6/29/06) to LASC, after reviewing the Self-Study 2006 site visit, reaffirmed accreditation with a requirement that complete a Progress Report by 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 the Progress 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. The Progress 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, the Progress Reportwas reviewed and received by the LACCD Board of Trusteeson 2/27/08.
