Accreditation - Hartnell College!!

Institutional Self Evaluation – 12-05-12
Because this process is too new to be codified, and the college has not yet faced a situation in
which the request was not endorsed, it may yet be fine-tuned.
Self Evaluation
Despite the considerable challenges that all community colleges have faced with constant
cutbacks to its apportionment and categorical funding, and the challenges that Hartnell has
faced with the constant changes to its administrative structure and senior staff, the college has
remained stable, vibrant, productive, and high-functioning. This is testament to the high
quality and experience of its faculty, classified, and administrative staff, and their willingness
to work together and flexibly respond to challenges as they arise.
The college meets this standard.
