Institutional Self Evaluation – 12-05-12 The Superintendent/President involved everyone in establishing enrollment processes that integrated academic planning with resource planning to increase enrollments, student access, and student graduation rates. She arrived at Hartnell at a time when enrollment had been declining for several years. She implemented a guaranteed schedule, based on three years of enrollment data, that focused on student and program needs and that could flexibly respond to student demand for classes. This method of developing and unrolling the schedule also increased efficiencies, since new sections opened only after the guaranteed sections were filled (IV.B.86). To increase enrollments, the superintendent/president introduced registration rallies to attract students to Hartnell (IV.B.87). After the Salinas Valley 2020 report revealed the needs and priorities of students (IV.B.69), the college offered more classes and services during evenings and weekends. These efforts were highly successful; not only did enrollments increase, but Hartnell was also awarded growth funding (IV.B.88). The college applied its model for integrating program review, resource allocation, and budgeting during the summer of 2012. A College wide program review was used by the deans to allocate resources for instructional equipment needs. A fund of $200,000 had been set aside for this purpose (IV.B.93). The effectiveness of this decision will be evaluated during the 2012-2013 academic year. The new Dean will have many tools at his disposal to assist the college in its planning, assessment, and improvement processes, like its Executive Information System (IV.B.89), and he has beeen attending the weekly meetings of the Access and Success Research Group. He will work with a college that is not only deeply respectful of that work, but eager to have the power of that knowledge to improve its processes. Self Evaluation With the appointment of a Dean of Institutional Planning and Effectiveness, the resources that have been created by the college‘s success in grant writing and implementation, and a college culture that embraces the continuous improvement process in all of its educational and administrative programs, the college is poised to continue to improve the teaching and learning environment. The college‘s planning documents have guided the last several years of programs, and a new strategic plan is being developed this year, based on strategic priorities set by the Board. Administrative support in the instructional areas has been strengthened. Title V grant funding has underwritten the development of tools for measuring student persistence and retention, and many training opportunities have been provided at flex activities and division meetings (IV.B.90). Many faculty have been trained to use these tools and have provided input so that the tools could be tailored to better suit their needs (IV.B.91). The grant directors have presented their research using these tools at statewide conferences (IV.B.92). The college worked as well as it could without an Institutional Research Office for four years, largely because the one full-time analyst has provided excellent research support for the college, including its grant activities, but also because the grant activities themselves filled in some of these gaps. Given the number of innovative projects that are under way at Page 315
Institutional Self Evaluation – 12-05-12 Hartnell to improve student success, the need for this type of support is especially acute, and the hiring of this position is overdue. The college meets this standard. Planning Agenda Evaluate the decision-making model integrating program review, budget, and resource allocation, and revise as necessary. IV.B.2.c The president assures the implementation of statutes, regulations, and governing board policies and assures that institutional practices are consistent with institutional mission and policies. Descriptive Summary The Superintendent/President is well informed of statutes, regulations, and governing board policies, and provides oversight to ensure that he and his staff act consistent with them. The Superintendent/President holds his administrators accountable for upholding laws and regulations, and for ensuring that institutional processes are consistent with the institutional mission. All senior administrative staff are on community college list-serves, and most belong to professional organizations that provide legislative and regulatory updates, advice, and guidance, including organizations for chief business officers, instruction officers, human resources officers, technology officers, and student services officers. The chief human resources officer, a lawyer by training, also subscribes to two newsletter services by law firms that specialize in public education law. All administrators also attend regular professional development trainings conducted by members of the law firm of Liebert Cassidy Whitmore, which always contain the most up-to-date legal information, including recent court and administrative agency decisions applying and interpreting applicable law. Sharing this kind of information is part of the weekly cabinet meetings. The president also writes a weekly update to the Board that he e-mails to all employees and makes available on the website. These updates include analyses of new laws and regulations that affect community colleges (IV.B.109). Under the Superintendent/President‘s guidance, the District has subscribed to the Community College League of California‘s Board Policy & Administrative Procedure Service, which provides suggested policies that are consistent with law and regulations, and represent best Page 316
