ACCJC actions on Peralta colleges

The Commission still attempts to enforce policies that are counter to the inherent rights of an elected board of trustees. And they continue to threaten action if their anti-Trustee policies are not followed.

See bolded items from the ACCJC letter to the colleges:

The Commission also determined that the College must demonstrate compliance with the following Standards, as identified in the requirements below. This demonstration must be addressed in the required Follow-Up Report.

Standards III.D.5, III.D.6, III.D.8 (District Requirement 1): In order to meet the

Standards, the Commission requires the District have appropriate internal control

mechanisms and regularly evaluate its financial management practices, and use the

results for improvement to ensure financial documents have a high degree of credibility.

Standard III.D.7 (District Requirement 2): In order to meet the Standard, the

Commission requires the District respond to all external audit findings, and such

responses are comprehensive, timely, and communicated properly.

Standard III.D.10 (District Requirement 3): In order to meet the Standard, the

Commission requires the District must practice effective oversight of its financial aid

programs.

Standard IV.C.1 (District Requirement 4): In order to meet the Standard, the

Commission requires that the Board of Trustees assures the academic quality, integrity, and effectiveness of the student learning programs and services and the financial stability of the institution.

Standard IV.C.2 (District Requirement 5): In order to meet the Standard, the

Commission requires that once the Board of Trustees reaches a decision, all board

members act in support of board decisions.

Standard IV.C.3 (District Requirement 6): In order to meet the Standard, the

Commission requires the Board adhere to their clearly defined policy for evaluating the CEO of the District.

Standard IV.C.4 (District Requirement 7): In order to meet the Standard, the

Commission requires the governing board functions as an independent, policy-making body that reflects the public interest in the institution’s educational quality.

Standard IV.C.7 (District Requirement 8): In order to meet the Standard, the

Commission requires that the Board establish a formal process for regularly assessing its policies for effectiveness in fulfilling the District’s mission and revise them as necessary.

Standard IV.C.12 (District Requirement 9): In order to meet the Standard, the

Commission requires the Board delegate full responsibility and authority to the

Chancellor to implement and administer board policies without Board interference.

Standard IV.D.2 (District Requirement 10): In order to meet the Standard, the

Commission requires the District clearly delineate, document, and communicate the

operational responsibilities and functions of the District from those of the Colleges and consistently adhere to this delineation in practice.

In accordance with federal regulations and the Policy on Commission Actions on Institutions, compliance requirements must be addressed and the institution must demonstrate that it aligns with Standards within three years, by June 2024. If the institution cannot document that it has come into compliance within this designated period, the Commission will take adverse action.
