Committee ChargeThe Assessment Committee is a standing governance committee that coordinates all processes related to the assessment of Institutional, Program, and Student Learning Outcomes. The primary purpose of this committee is to ensure that learning outcome assessment is consistent with the mission of the college, addresses the needs of students and the community, and meets the requirements of law and regulation. (Committee Charge revised Sept. 2014)

College Goal 2: Professional Development Fall 2014-Spring 2015

Committee Goal Provide professional development opportunities for classified, faculty, and administrators that will further the effectiveness of our existing assessment process.

Action Plan • Support Group - Continue to pair with the existing Curriculum Support Group meetings to provide asessment/CurricUNET training• Districtwide Collaboration - Sponsor discussion between campuses for common assessment goals• Incourage the adoption of an assessment process that maps all three levels of learning outcomes to allow for a single assessment event to accomplish significantly more; provide related training

Timeline Fall 2014-Spring 2015

Indicate the status of the goal (complete, in progress, other) and briefly describe the progress made on the goal.

The Assessment and Curriculum Committees have established a link between common areas of responsibility. All Support Groups, Work Groups, and/or CurricUNET training now include both curriculum and assessment components (this is presently an ongoing process). Informative presentation and training events have been held at multiple venues campuswide. Currently, a joint (districtwide) adhoc committee is researching alternative programs to handle assessment processes and results.

Where is the evidence? List evidence and cite relevant data strands (indicators) that relate to the work that has been done.

CurricUNET issues have not gone away and it is unlikely that they ever will but problems related to general operational knowledge have significantly reduced. The common or related areas of operations between assessment and curriculum are more unified in function. Multiple disciplines have adopted the mapping process of assessment and these should begin to become more apparent in subsequent semesters. The districtwide collaboration is a current and ongoing process.

What recommendations does the committee have for the future?

Training, by necessity, will remain on ongoing process. However, a more immediate point of concern is the nonfunctionality of the assessment module in CurricUNET. The assessment data entered by reporting departments cannot be accessed in report form. The committee strongly supports the search for an alternate assessment management program.

College Goal 3: CommunicationCommittee Goal Increase committee membership to include campuswide representaion

Action Plan The recent change in committe charge incorporated a substantial change in committee membership to include: One faculty co-chaired, one administrative co-chair, two administrative representatives, the Articulation Officer, 27 Academic Senate representatives (24 department reps and 3 members-at-large), and one student Government Association Representative.



The committee is currently in the process of recruiting members to provide each department with direct representation.


Refer to membership listed above.


Continue to recruit committee members to provide a full campuswide representation and encourage the dissemination of relavent information and materials to each area of membership representation.

College Goal 5: Oversight & Accountability On going

Committee Goal Meet compliance requirementsAction Plan

In relation to the curriculum committee; the action plan is to continue to review and approve program and student learning outcomes in a timely and effective manner to facilitate the overall curriculum approval process. In relation to assessment; the action plan is to continue to encourage compliance with the required learning outcomes assessment process. At present, however, the assessment component in CurricUNET is essentially nonfunctional and the means to validate the degree of compliance is a tedious and time consuming process. In light of this, the best option for verifing such compliance is through the results reported in the annual program review. This document is not intended to be a detailed account of the assessment process but it can provide information related to where in CurricUNET the most current assessment results are located.



The Currriculum Committee report will reflect 190 course revisions, 26 new courses, 8 new programs (2 of which were ADTs), 2 program modifications. The learning outcomes associated with every course and program were reviewed by the Assessment Committee. In relation to learning outcome assessment, the evidence is literally a stack of assessment report printouts. Currently, there is a districtwide adhoc committee reviewing potential replacements for the assessment portion of CurricUNET.

2014-15 SUMMARY Fall 2014-Spring 2015How are you evaluating your committee's effectiveness in meeting college goals and your committee charge? The Assessment Committee charge was revised in Fall 2014 for two

reasons. The first was to increase membership to allow for a campuswide representation to better facilitate communication and accountability. The second was to recognize the committee's responsibility for all levels of learning outcomes. These two areas will better equip the committee to meet the demands of future assessment compliance. Future evaluations of this committee's effectiveness will include these two areas. The overall evaluation of the committee's effectiveness are currently hampered by the limited ability to retrieve relavent assessment data from CurricUNET.

What did your evaluation reveal?While it would appear that we have a fair percentage of compliance it is unlikely that we have 100%. Our reliance on CurricUNET to provide a meaure of accountability has created a significant degree of difficulty when it ceased to function. Both campuswide communication and a viable means to measure compliance are areas for future focus.

How will you use your findings to effect positive change? We are currently exploring options, apart from CurricUNET, for recording

assessment data. This will be essential to future success. In addition, the revised committee charge has increased membership to allow for a campuswide representation. These two areas should provide a significant degree of positive change in the future.

Committee ChargeThe Curriculum Committee is a standing governance committee that functions as a vital subcommittee of the Academic Senate. The primary purpose of this committee is to ensure that curriculum is consistent with the mission of the college, addresses the needs of students and the community, and meets the requirements of law and regulation. Curriculum includes programs of study (degrees and certificates) and individual courses. As such, it must support strong transfer and vocational programs and include a strong general education program as the foundation upon which students build.

College Goal 1: Student SuccessCommittee Goal #1 Provide the knowledge and training necessary to accomplish the approval

and renewal of curriculum.Action Plan Ensure curriculum (i.e. courses and programs) are up-to-date and compliant

with Title 5, ACCJC standards, and recent changes in legislation for curriculum articulation and student matriculation processes.

Timeline 2014-2015


Process is on-going due to the systemic nature of the six year review cycle and large curriculum inventory. Progress has been made to bring inventory both internally (BC Curriculum Inventory) and externally (CCCCO Curriculum Inventory) up-top-date.


Processed 190 courses and 20 programs. Major projects included: 1. Change in subject identifier of ENSL (English as a Second Language) courses to EMLS (English for Multilingual Students) to more accurately reflect the discipline and demographic. Additionally, EMLS courses were realigned for consistency of below transfer level courses. 2. Realignment of Japanese courses to meet university standards. 3. Creation of EMTC courses for new paramedic program. 4. Clean up of all FIRE courses and FIRE programs.


Need to process approximately 105 courses (excluding Apprenticeship courses) to bring internal inventory into compliance.

Committee Goal #2 Address process issues that are impeding the approval and renewal of curriculum.

Action Plan 2013-2014 recommendations included addressing the process issue for designating conditions of enrollment.

Timeline 2014-2015


Co-chairs worked with Sue V., Tina C. and Sharon B. to address processing issues of conditions of enrollment resulting in more extensive faculty and committee member training to ensure consistency of designations across all disciplines.


Evidence includes training listed on Curriculum Committee agendas and stated in CurricUNET approval queues during curriculum review process.

What recommendations does the committee have for the future? Continue to address process issues when identified. Committee Goal #3 Address technological (i.e., CurricUNET) issues that are impeding the

approval and renewal of curriculum.Action Plan Work closely with IT department in addressing CurricuNET issues to ensure

that faculty have access to CurricUNET and have the necessary knowledge to utilize CurricUNET.

Timeline 2014-2015


Progress is on-going because CurricUNET continues to be a challenge and time vacuum with regard to processing curriculum in an efficient manner.


Curriculum/Assessment Clinics held regularly to provide one-on-one help with troubleshooting CurricUNET glitches and idiosyncrasies.


A district wide committee is exploring alternative curriculum/assessment programs.

College Goal 2: CommunicationCommittee Goal #1 Provide the knowledge and training necessary to accomplish the approval

and renewal of curriculum.Action Plan

2013-2014 recommendations included developing a more informative calendar to allow for greater understanding of interaction between Curriculum Committee, Board of Trustees, and the State Chancellors' Office for approval as well as catalog requirements.

Timeline 2014-2015

Indicate the status of the goal (complete, in progress, other) and briefly describe the progress made on the goal. A more informative calendar was created for the 2014-2015 academic year.


A more informative calendar was created, timeline constraints were incorporated into faculty training sessions, and included on all committee agendas.

What recommendations does the committee have for the future? Continued training of curriculum process timeline. Committee Goal #2 Address process issues that are impeding the approval and renewal of

curriculum. Action Plan 2013-2014 recommendations included faculty requests that

Curriculum/Assessment Clinics be held on alternating days (i.e. Wednesdays and Thursdays) as well as alternating time slots (i.e. mornings and afternoons) to increase hands-on training for the processing of curriculum.

Timeline 2014-2015


Per faculty request Curriculum/Assessment clinics were held during the fall semester with alternating days and times.


Five Curriculum/Assessment Clinics were held as training events for faculty. Additionally, training was conducted specifically for FCDC at the beginning of the semester.


Although faculty requested alternating days and times for Curriculum/Assessment Clinics, the Wednesday morning sessions were not well attended, so future clinic dates will continue to be held on Thursday afternoons.

Committee Goal #3 Address technological (i.e., CurricUNET) issues that are impeding the approval and renewal of curriculum.

Action Plan Work closely with IT department in addressing CurricuNET issues to ensure that faculty have access to CurricUNET and have the necessary knowledge to utilize CurricUNET.

College Goal 4: Oversight & Accountability

Committee Goal #1 Provide the knowledge and training necessary to accomplish the approval and renewal of curriculum.

Action Plan Ensure curriculum (i.e. courses and programs) are up-to-date and compliant with Title 5, ACCJC standards, and recent changes in legislation for curriculum articulation and student matriculation processes. The focus of this college goal is evaluating course unit count to allow for creation of mandated ADTs and lowering overall unit count of the general education pattern.

Timeline 2014-2015


Process is on-going and with the use of the High Unit Justification form has led to a total of seven disciplines reevaluating their area's unit count resulting in 15 courses lowering units since fall 2013. Additionally, the Academic Development and English department lowered units by creating 5 new accelerated courses to better meet students' needs resulting in less units for students to complete.


To date the following disciplines have lowered unit count: American Sign Language (4), Business Administration (1), English (1), Japanese (3), Math (3) Philosophy (1), and Spanish (2). To date the following disciplines have created accelerated courses thus reducing unit count: Academic Development (4) and English (1).


Continued evaluation of general education pattern to ensure reasonable unit count of courses for all students completing the general education pattern.


Action Plan 2013-2014 recommendations included concerns with the timely processing of curriculum.

Timeline 2014-2015


Progress is on-going in trying to resolve process issues that negatively impact the timely processing of curriculum.


Operational data indicates that 190 courses and 20 programs were processed during the fall 2014 semester.


Challenges effecting timely processing include: high demand on faculty time during fall semester (e.g., start of term challenges, assessment planning, completion of program review document, and departmental obligations such as adjunct evaluations). Additional process issues included resignations and realignment of duties in key areas causing delays and curriculum being lost in CurricUNET (e.g., 2 chair positions, dean realignment, and resignation of WESTEC chair).

Committee, Admissions and Records, Curriculum/Banner Technician, and the Counseling Department to provide opportunities for understanding and cross-training.

Timeline 2014-2015


Progress has been made in integrating curriculum, assessment, and program review processes to avoid duplication of efforts.


The separate agendas for the Assessment Committee, Curriculum Committee, Program Review Committee, and the Counseling Department reflect cross committee reporting/training.


Continue training new faculty, chairs, and committee members and continue the cross committee interaction.


Action Plan Work closely with the Assessment and Program Review Committees as well as the Counseling Department to determine strengths and weaknesses of the curriculum implementation and review process.

Timeline 2014-2015


Cross committee reporting/training occurs between Assessment, Curriculum, Program Review, and Counseling Department agendas.


The separate agendas for Assessment, Curriculum, Program Review, and Counseling Department reflect cross committee reporting/training.


Continue training new faculty, chairs, and committee members and continue the cross committee interaction.



Timeline 2014-2015







College Goal 6: Professional Development

Committee Goal #1 Provide the knowledge and training necessary to accomplish the approval and renewal of curriculum.

Action Plan Provide campus wide training on the origination, modification, deletion, and review of curriculum. In addition to maintenance of the Curriculum Committee website to provide access to curriculum resources.

Timeline 2014-2015


Numerous training events (i.e. Curriculum/Assessment Clinics) were held in computer labs to provide hands-on training for faculty in general; in addition, training was held specifically for FCDC. Website is kept up-to-date.


Operational data indicates that a substantial amount of completed curriculum has been submitted to, and approved by, the Curriculum Committee indicating that faculty are gaining the necessary knowledge to complete the task.


Continue offering Curriculum/Assessment Clinics. Explore potential of including Program Review committee as well.


Action Plan 2013-2014 recommendations included faculty requests that Curriculum/Assessment Clinics be held on alternating days (i.e. Wednesdays and Thursdays) as well as alternating time slots (i.e. mornings and afternoons) to increase hands-on training for the processing of curriculum.

Timeline 2014-2015


Per faculty request Curriculum/Assessment clinics were held during the fall semester with alternating days and times.

Timeline 2014-2015







2014-15 SUMMARYHow are you evaluating your committee's effectiveness in meeting college goals and your committee charge?

The following work was accomplished during the fall 2014 semester: 107 course revisions, 26 new courses, 57 course deletions, 8 new programs (2 of which were ADTs), 2 program modifications and 10 program deactivations. The disciplines of Philosophy, ASL, and Japanese lowered course unit counts, in key general education areas, to aid in the creation of ADTs as well as ensuring students do not complete and pay for more units than necessary to meet their educational goals. These are in addition to ongoing discussions with committee members, curriculum technician, and faculty attending curriculum/assessment clinics in developing best practices in facilitating the curriculum review processes to meet state mandates (e.g., ADTs).

What did your evaluation reveal? The Curriculum Committee is making great strides in bringing the curriculum inventory into compliance, while adjusting practices to meet ACCJC and C-ID requirements as well as creating new ADTs to meet recent changes in legislation. However, efforts need to continue in streamlining processes for more efficient processing of curriculum and in exploring an alternative program to alleviate technological issues that hamper processing.

How will you use your findings to effect positive change?

Every effort is being made to align curriculum at all levels (CurricUNET, Banner, CCCCO, and catalog) to increase curriculum articulation and student matriculation processes.

Committee Charge

The primary purpose of the Equal Opportunity and Diversity Advisory Committee (EODAC) is to actively assist the college in shaping the college’s cultural and institutional policies and practices that demonstrate a commitment to diversity for all students, employees, and the community at large. The EODAC is responsible for educating and orienting the college about the issues and concerns related to diversity while helping to create an inclusive, engaging, and conscious college culture through:• Providing recommendations to Bakersfield College and the Kern Community College District for creating and/or amending policy and procedures that impacts, supports, and promotes the EODAC’s Committee charge• Creating, editing, and reviewing Bakersfield College’s Diversity Statement and diversity policies, plans, or reports from the Kern Community College District• Reviewing collected data regarding equity in achievement for all student groups, while conscious of traditionally underrepresented student groups, and work alongside other committees, taskforces, projects, and other entities and offices on campus to develop effective strategies to promote student retention, progression, and completion of courses• Promoting attitudinal and institutional changes regarding diversity and diversity issues• Delivering diversity trainings for students and employees, both new and returning employees, to promote awareness, action, and in some cases change in the way the college addresses diversity• Being an active voice for students and employees at both Bakersfield College and the Kern Community College District regarding diversityIn relationship to Equal Employment Opportunity, the EODAC will impact this process by:• Assisting the Equal Employment Opportunity Officer to achieve and maintain an open recruitment process that encourages and promotes a diverse workforce• Ensuring the delivery of diversity workshops to screening committees to inform committee members about issues dealing with diversity both at the college and district level • Assisting the Equal Employment Opportunity Officer to provide inclusiveness in

College Goal 1: Student Success Fall 2014-Spring 2015

Committee Goal

Provide professional development opportunities for classified, faculty, and administrators to expose the inequities that currently exist for all students but specifically underrepresented student groups. The committee looks to support any, and all, efforts of the college to support student success. This committee looks to enhance literacy campus-wide for issues related to and/or dealing with equity, diversity, and student success.

Action Plan

Create professional development opportunities individually and in cooperation with other Senate Committees and offices on Campus. Also, participate in work related to change for the college as well as outreach and community involvement that will help create greater literacy and action for student success. Participate in activities such as the Student Equity Plan, and the initiatives within, to promote student success.



In progress and ongoing. The work of the committee will never be complete in this area and will continue to be a reoccurring goal given the ever changing landscape of the California Community College System campus and students.


One of the ways that EODAC has worked, and is working, towards accomplishing this goal is through our participation with the Student Equity Plan, advocating on campus for opportunities and services for all student groups, Equity TV, and participation with the college-wide Equity Symposium in April 2015. Safe Space trainings are also scheduled to resume in Spring 2015 with the return of the organizer for that group just returning from leave.


A more concerted effort by the college needs to be made in the area of training to understand BC's unique student populations and the unique obstacles, barriers, and other variables to create equitable practices that promote student success.

College Goal 2: Professional Development

Provide relevant, timely professional growth opportunities to enhance the effectiveness of our employees and institution.

Committee GoalTo create and participate in the following trainings offered at BC: 1.) Diversity Training for Hiring Committees, 2.) New Hire Training & New Faculty Seminar, & 3.) Diversity and Equity Training on Campus

Action Plan Get more involved on campus offering professional development opportunities in the aforementioned areas as well as areas that emerge throughout the year dealing with diversity and equity issues.



In progress. 1.) An EODAC representative has participated in diversity's training offered by HR for new hires (dates listed below) and will be inserted in future proposed HR trainings. 2.) The committee is working on becoming part of the new hire process for all employee groups, and 3.) The committee is taking part in the upcoming Equity Symposium and is working on providing more professional development opportunities. The committee has participated, and is participating, in the Equity TV project on campus having lead two of four scheduled talks. Also, Safe Space trainings are scheduled to resume in Spring 2015 with the return of the organizer for that group just returning from leave.


1.)Agendas from the Training for Hiring Committees hosted by Dena Rhoades should verify our participation on Feb. 11th, Feb. 23rd, and Feb. 27th and additional trainings scheduled for March 11th and 13th 2.) The process for becoming part of the new employee training is in progress and is a project starting in Spring 2015 3.) The work done, and in progress, for the Equity Symposium is documented in the agenda and notes for this workgroup. The work done for Equity TV is documented in workgroup meetings and the culminating project is showcased every Monday at 11am for live stream. There is a repository of these videos stored on YouTube.


The committee feels that better funding and more aggressively seeking these types of trainings from the leadership within the college is the only way to increase diversity and equity professional development as well as increase the commitment level for all employees to live the college's mission statement. Considering that this committee is one of the only committees on campus with representation from all three employee groups, funding maybe harder to acquire for some groups versus others. The committee would also like to build stronger relationships with other committees, groups, and offices on campus specifically, but not limited to, the Office of Equity and Inclusion to offer professional development opportunities.

College Goal 3: CommunicationEnhance collaboration, consultation, and communication within the college and with external constituents.

Committee Goal

The committee hopes to not only raise the equity literacy among all employee groups but foster open communication between various groups on campus including students, employees, administration, between colleges within the district, and with KCCD itself. Also, the committee hopes to reach out into the community and be a more proactive group in establishing relationships that will help the committee accomplish both the goals of the committee and upload the mission of the college at large in regards to equity and diversity. EODAC recognizes the importance of collaborating with offices, committees, and groups to steward the Student Equity Plan.

Action Plan

Encourage members of the committee and college employees to work towards building stronger bonds within and outside the college and district. Create a open dialogue between and among all groups on campus to recognize and engage equity issues to make measurable change.



In progress. Representation from EODAC has had a presence in many projects and initiatives on campus thorough the process of planning and work associated with equity and diversity. Members from the committee have or are taking part in projects such as ASTEP, AAMMP, Equity TV, The Equity Symposium, The Student Equity Plan, Diversity and Equity Trainings, Los Padrinos and outreach among countless other projects and initiatives.


ASTEP, AAMMP, Equity TV, The Equity Symposium, The Student Equity Plan, Diversity and Equity Trainings, Los Padrinos, and other projects can be verified through meeting agendas, finished products such as Equity TV and the Student Equity Plan but much of the work being done to accomplish this college goal has been done in every meeting, brainstorming activity, workgroup, and conference attendance and reporting by having courageous conversations surrounding equity and diversity.


The college and all of its group has a huge responsibility to each other to create and foster open communication between and among these groups.

In progress and ongoing. Bakersfield College is in a perpetual state of change and equity must be an important part of every we do.
