Resolution adopted November 13, 2010 Academic Senate for the California Community Colleges
Develop a Faculty Definition of Student Success
Whereas, SB 1143 (Liu, 2010) mandates that the California Community College system "establish a taskforce to examine specified best practices and models for accomplishing student success," and the work of this task force is already in progress;
Whereas, Myriad forces from both within and without the California Community College System have attempted to define and suggest measurements for student success, leading to varying understandings and definitions of the term; and
Whereas, Models and definitions developed in other states may not transfer effectively or appropriately to the California Community College system; and
Whereas, Community college Boards of Trustees are required to rely primarily on or mutually agree with the academic senate in matters relating to student success;
Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges direct its Executive Committee to develop working definitions of student success based on input from faculty throughout the California Community College system and carry those definitions into discussions related to SB 1143 (Liu, 2010) and other appropriate venues.
