Institutional Self Evaluation – 12-05-12 Since this time, the Board has requested and receives regular updates on the progress of the self evaluation. Board members work in their sphere to carry out the activities required for accreditation and to fulfill their policy-making role. Board members have reviewed and approved the many progress reports (e.g., IV.B.53A) and substantive change requests developed and submitted to the accrediting commission over the last several years, and some Board members participated in the writing and editing process. Two Board members have been named as liaisons to the accreditation steering committee in the current self evaluation (IV.B.54) Self Evaluation Board Policy 3200 links the commitment of the Board to high-quality education with the activities outlined by the accreditation processes. The policy enumerates the mechanisms by which the Board is informed about, and involved with, accreditation standards. The Board established goals for 2012-2013 emphasizing its commitment to student achievement, access, and success. This connects well with the endorsement of continuous improvement specified in Board Policy 3200. The Board has made it a priority not only to do its part of insuring the integrity of the institution through accreditation, but also to be completely informed of how all the other parts of the college are faring in doing their parts. The college meets this standard. Planning Agenda None. IV.B.1.j The governing board has the responsibility for selecting and evaluating the District/system chief administrator (most often known as the chancellor) in a multi-college district/system or the college chief administrator (most often known as the president) in the case of a single college. The governing board delegates full responsibility and authority to him/her to implement and administer board policies without board interference and holds him/her accountable for the operation of the District/system or college, respectively. Descriptive Summary Page 307
Institutional Self Evaluation – 12-05-12 As a single college district, the Hartnell College Board of Trustees is responsible for selecting and evaluating the District‘s superintendent/president. As outlined in Board Policy 2431 (IV.B.6), the Board commits to a fair and open national search process to select a highly qualified leader, conducted with the assistance of a qualified search firm. The Board of Trustees acted under the authority of this policy in the fall of 2011 when it initiated a search for the next Superintendent/President after the sitting superintendent/president announced her intention to retire. The Board first selected a search liaison and a qualified search consultant, and then created an inclusive, transparent search process. This process included several focus groups with college and community stakeholders to determine, among other things, the qualities sought in a new president (IV.B.55); a selection committee that included all employee groups, students, community members, and two members of the Board; and regular communication to the community on the progress of the process via e-mails and reports that were posted on the website (IV.B.56) until the search concluded in May 2012 with the Board‘s selection of Dr. Willard Clark Lewallen. The president‘s contract of employment is negotiated and agreed to by the Board and the president. The Board delegates full responsibility and authority to the superintendent/president to implement and administer board policy without interference, and this is reflected in several board policies. Board Policy 2200 directs the Board to ―delegate power and authority to the Superintendent/President to effectively lead the District.‖ (IV.B.1) Board Policy 3200 confers responsibility on the superintendent/president to help the Board realize its responsibilities in accreditation. (IV.B.50) Additional policies direct the superintendent/president to ensure that academic programs are implemented properly. (IV.B.57, IV.B.58) The Board now evaluates the president in an annual, confidential process. This is specified in the contract between the Board and the president (IV.B.63), and also in Board Policy 2435 (IV.B.7), which requires a formal annual performance evaluation of the superintendent/president and emphasizes the value of the exercise to both the superintendent/president and the Board. The policy was adopted in November 2011. Previously, evaluations were conducted in September 2010 (IV.B.59), and November 2011 in accordance with the contract between the District and the superintendent/president, which specified only that evaluations could be conducted ―at any time.‖ (IV.B.60) The Board understands its role as a policy-making body and the president‘s role to implement and administer board policy without interference or micromanagement. This is evident in each Board agenda and the conduct of Board meetings. Self Evaluation The selection of a college president is among the most momentous decisions a Board makes, and is important to the entire community. The Hartnell College Board has exercised its authority to hire the superintendent/president twice during this accreditation cycle, and has Page 308
