There is a clear and appropriate distinction,
in writing and practice, between the policy-making functions
of the governing board and the responsibility of the administration
and faculty to administer and implement policy. |

 Partial
Compliance |
Non-Compliance |
|
| Narrative: |
The
Board of Trustees sets policy for the College, and the
administration and faculty administer and implement policy.
This distinction is clear in written authority and in
actual practice. The Board of Trustees is not involved
in the daily operations of the College, but provides oversight.
The
responsibility for the board to make policy is clearly
stated in North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 115D
(1) and outlined
in the Board of Trustees Constitution and Bylaws (2).
There is evidence of this in practice as recorded in
the minutes of the board (3).
The
president has authority for operation of the College
under the policies of the Board of Trustees and the
rules and regulations of the State Board of Community
Colleges (4).
Statement
1.1 of the SCC Policies and Procedures Manual states,
“This Manual is a statement of the policies of
the Board of Trustees relating to the philosophy and
governance of Southwestern Community College and such
administrative statements and procedures as the president
may deem appropriate to the implementation of board
policies. The manual, together with applicable state
laws, shall constitute the fundamental guidelines for
the administration of the college.” (5)
Every faculty and staff position at the College has
a position description outlining individual responsibilities
(6).
These are available in the Human Resources Office.
The
Faculty Handbook addresses the responsibility of faculty
to implement such policies as the Grading Policy (7)
and other academic policies (8).
The employment contract specifies the responsibility
of the employee to perform services to the College subject
to the policies, rules, and regulations of the board
(9).
