Primary
responsibility for the quality of the educational
programs of the college resides with the faculty.
|
| 2. |
All
programs of the college will be continually
reappraised to assure that the offered courses
meet the needs of the community and the students.
The Board of Trustees encourages faculty involvement
in the planning of course offerings and in
the development of new techniques for meeting
course objectives. The President is authorized
to establish detailed procedures for curriculum
development. The Board of Trustees authorizes
Adult Education, Community Service courses,
whether credit or non-credit, when there is
apparent need for them in the community, when
the courses are primarily educational, when
qualified instructors and funds are available,
and when a minimum of twelve (12) students
are likely to enroll. Under unusual circumstances
(e.g., acute community need, initiation of
new programs) some latitude in class size
will be allowed. A course may be discontinued
when it ceases to meet these criteria. |
