College of Marin – ACCREDITATION REAFFIRMED (2013)The Commission took action to remove Warning and reaffirm the accreditation of College of Marin at their January 9-11, 2013 meeting. They also told the college that they would need to file a Midterm Report by October 15, 2013. In the letter the Commission stated that “Midterm Reports indicate resolution of any team recommendations made for improvement, include a summary of progress on College-identified plans for improvement as expressed in the Institutional Self Evaluation Report, and demonstrate that the changes and improvements made by the institution have been sustained.” “In particular, the Midterm Report should demonstrate the college's sustained level of effort and progress in program review, planning, and resource allocation (note Recommendation 1, and Standards 1.B; I.B.6; I.B.7; III.D.I.a; III.D.3) and in student learning outcomes assessment and use of the results in program planning and resource allocation for improvement (note Recommendation 2, and Standards lI.A.I.a; II.A.l.c; II.A.2.f; II.A.3.a,b; II.B.4; II.C.2) The Report should also forecast where the College expects to be by the time of the next comprehensive evaluation.” I don’t understand why a forecast is necessary when the college has already reached satisfaction of ALL requirements. College of Marin must have reached satisfaction of all policies in order to escape any sanction – at least that is what the Commission has said in numerous statements. Shasta College – PLACED ON PROBATION (2012)At the January 10-11, 2012 of the ACCJC, the Commission put Shasta College on Probation. The November 2012 Visiting Team had had no faculty members. Prior to that action, Shasta was under no sanctions. They had been on Watch status in January of 2009. They were taken off of Watch status in June of 2009. In order to receive accreditation the college was told:
In short, Shasta College was put on probation for not doing enough planning, review, integration of planning, and implementing student learning outcomes. The sanction had nothing to do with the actual education received by students attending the college. This approach to accreditation is being repeated over and over by the ACCJC. It should be noted that the use of “student learning outcomes” in the manner proposed above requires a great deal of time and effort and is not well accepted by many, if not most, of the faculty in the California Community Colleges and is viewed as an unproven method of developing quality instruction. It is rather seen as unproductive “busy work” being forced down their throats by an outside non-public Commission. Although the Commission requirements, for the most part, paralleled those of the visiting team’s recommendation, it is unclear as to whether the actual level of sanction was recommended by the visiting team. The process from the filing of the visiting team report and the final ACCJC decision is shrouded in secrecy. There is no public record of votes taken, the process used to determine the final decision, or who actually did the work. Reports have been circulating for years of team members who were shocked at the severity of the sanctions imposed by the ACCJC. The teams will often highly praise the college in its report for its work with students and the community but this never seems to be considered in the ACCJC judgments. In the case of Shasta College, the October 2011 visiting team commended the college for:
