The committee distributes information regarding faculty roles in accreditation via listservs and through institutes, as well as senate publications. The committee provides input to the President regarding interaction with the commissions and other appropriate organizations representing faculty and their concerns in the Community College System. The committee will advise the President to influence regional and federal accreditation policy and processes.
