Title: Amendment 1

| |
| IL | Adopted 10/2008 | Community College
Postsec. | Amends policies relating to review and evaluation of community college programs. Eliminates reference to opportunity for a college to request a review cycle longer than five years. Specifies that colleges must review student services and academic support programs (in addition to instructional programs), and that instructional, student services, and academic support programs must be evaluated at least once every five years.
Adds provision requiring each college to develop a schedule that shows when each program will be reviewed during each five-year cycle. Provides that occupational programs must be scheduled in the year following their inclusion in the ICCB follow-up study unless the college obtains an exception in writing from the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB). Requires the review of general education objectives of the academic programs to be scheduled annually, but allows this review to focus each year on areas specified by the Illinois Board of Higher Education and ICCB. Adds provision that the ICCB may request the college to include special reviews of programs identified as a result of state-level analyses, legislative resolutions, or Illinois Board of Higher Education policy studies. Adds provision requiring each college to annually submit to the ICCB a summary report of its previous year's program review results and a copy of its current five-year schedule of program
reviews.
Eliminates requirement that community college students undergo an examination on American patriotism, principles of representative government, proper use and
display of the American flag, and the Australian ballot voting system.
