What's Next?
The college is moving forward with its midterm accreditation report. The IEC has developed a draft report and input is being sought from constituent groups. The draft report was presented to the ELT on Nov. 5. The IEC hopes to approve the draft Nov 19; it will then go to the ELT for approval. The District Accreditation Coordinating Committee is expected to review all four colleges' draft reports in early December.
