Update: CR’s accreditation
On January 31, the commission sent a letter to CR that basically said, based on its team fs visit last fall, good job but keep going.
“College of the Redwoods has accomplished significant and meaningful work toward resolution, has sought outside assistance, and is very near to completing the work,” wrote Barbara Beno, president of the commission, in that letter.
Johnston said the college has put in “a tremendous amount of work” in the last few months toward meeting the recommendations. For example, he said, one thing the college has had to do is update all of its course outlines — eight-page documents that describe each course and which are required to be updated about every five years, he said. By last September, only 20 percent of them had been updated. “Now we fre up to 72 percent currency,” he said.
The college also has completed 100 percent of the program reviews the commission asked for, and has established an office of institutional research to regularly gather the data — on enrollment numbers, on community needs, on employers needs, and so on — that the administration will use to make decisions. The data will be regularly plugged into the computer system and available for all to peruse.
“I think as each day passes, decisions are becoming better,” said Johnston.
