Accreditation Standards

In order that faculty and others might have additional resources for participating in local discussions of the new Accreditation Standards, we are making the following available:

• The New Accreditation Standards-Guidelines for the Field (Word)
• ASCCC President Hoke Simpson's letter to Wallace Albertson, Chair of the Accrediting Commission on Draft C (PDF)
• ASCCC general commentary on Draft A (PDF)
• ASCCC standard-by-standard commentary on Draft A (PDF)
• Community College Council/California Federation of Teachers President Marty Hittelman's letter to Wallace Albertson, Chair of the Accrediting Commission on Draft B
• American Association of University Professors' Statement on the Standards

In addition, a workgroup has been formed under the auspices of the Executive Committee, consisting of representatives from the Academic Senate, the CCC/CFT, and the AAUP. The workgroup has been asked to produce a set of guidelines for faculty in the field for discussion at Area meetings and the Fall Plenary Session. These will be available on this site following Fall Session.
