Institution Set Standards update

Understanding Institution-Set Standards

- The set standard is the minimum (floor) and we have met these
- The stretch goals (aspirational) are not completely met but this is what we work to achieve 
- The college should update its five-year stretch goals as part of our strategic planning effor

Questions:
- Can disaggregation be done? Yes, although not asked for by ACCJC
- Do we become leaders with this? Can we do better? We can look into it stretching our goals

						Core Inquiry Number 1 Accreditation

					Frank Kobayashi
					
					
- ISER submitted, team review was done, four core inquiries for ARC:
Main item for IEC to look at from core inquiry #1:
- What do we (the college) do if we don't meet our institutional set standards? 
In Annual Unit Planning, planning units look at their department set standards (what we call institutional set standards at the planning unit level).  If they don't meet their standards, they can identify the resources they need to improve and meet the standard in the future.
At the college level, it is actually rare that we don't meet all of our institutional set standards.  One example was a year with low transfer rates that could be traced to the CSU/UC systems not accepting as many transfers that year.  This was shared at the council but no action was done because the reason it had occurred was outside of our control.  Another example was when the job placement rates for some career programs were too low by just 1 or 2 students, which could be addressed using resource requests during Annual Unit Planning. 
- ARC's timeline is to have this written up before the October 2022 site visit
- Response on all 4 items must be within 300 words
   
							
				

				

						Developing a system to track curriculum changes 

					Bill Simpson
					
					
- We have several student-facing technologies that pull data from Socrates (online catalog, online schedule, program maps, Degree Audit, Degree Planner, etc...).
- Some of these are updated automatically but some are updated manually, so the course and program information we show students is not always the same.
- Manual processes take time and are likely to miss things
- Counselors would like to know what changed from one catalog to the next, and what changes were added as an addendum mid-year.
- District  said it should be up to each college to deal with this.
- Can something be developed to assist with this at ARC?  Is it something we could share with our sister colleges once it has been developed?
- per Kale - there is a back end database (daily generated, read-only) way to access Socrates data at ARC
- Should this be set as a college priority to move forward? 
Sending recommendation for development to ELT was approved by council  
							
				

				

						Look over the charter for Bias Response

					BJ Snowden
					
					
We read over the Bias Response Charter (SSC project) and there were these questions and comments:
- In need section - The wording of tribal bias may need to be changed to something more appropriate (Jen will check in with Native American Resource Center)
- We would like to offer assistance to the team to adjust calendar (Mary)
- Should there be some community members input? (BJ will ask the team leads and SSC council)
