VC Objective 5: Assess and, if necessary, modify the college's organizational structure.
VCCCD Board Goal: Prudent Fiscal Stewardship
VC Accreditation Recommendations: In order to fully meet this standard the team recommends that the college must examine and provide evidence that appropriate leadership is addressing the various initiatives and programs on campus that support student learning. Efforts in online learning technology, basic skills initiatives, and SLOs lack an oversight committee or person responsible to oversee each of these projects and to ensure that they are implemented college wide in a manner that best serves the interests of student learning (Accreditation Standard II.A, II.B); As noted in 2004, in order to fully meet this standard the team recommends that the college president must develop an ongoing systematic and comprehensive system to assess the effectiveness of the college's organizational structure, campus planning processes, and institutional effectiveness and to convey the results of such assessments to the college community in a timely manner. (Accreditation Standard IV.B.2.a-b, IV.B.2.c)
