ORGANIZATION FOR THE SELF STUDY
Gavilan College began organizing for the 2001 Accreditation Self Study
visit in spring 1999 with the appointment of the Self Study Steering
Committee. Members included the Accreditation Liaison Officer, the
Accreditation Coordinator, the Co-Chairs of each of the ten Standard
Committees, the Editing Committee and the Research Committee. The
standard teams were to be composed of at least one administrator, one
member of the Academic Senate, one classified staff, and one student.
More participants from any category were welcomed. Due to the long term
commitment, student participation was notably lacking. During the Self
Study process the College underwent an administrative reorganization and
the position of Accreditation Liaison Officer was shifted from the Vice
President of Instructional Services to the Vice President of Student
Services. Also, personnel changes at Gavilan resulted in some Co-Chairs
and standard team members being replaced or dropping out. The Listed
Steering Committee and standard team memberships are as of September
2000.
