Purpose
and Role of Institutional Review at Palomar
Institutional Review is defined in the
Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges
as
"an ongoing
process by which the institution evaluates and assesses the
effectiveness of its programs
and
services for students. The Institutional Review
Committee develops the models, methodology, and processes by which all
programs and services at Palomar College are reviewed on an annual basis
to evaluate their efficiency,
effectiveness, and alignment with the
Strategic Plan, Educational and Facilities Master Plan and those
institution-wide plans to be developed in the future. The Committee
develops specific criteria and procedures
by which individual programs,
functions, and services are evaluated. It works with the appropriate staff to
develop criteria, gather data, and coordinate reviews for the
Planning Councils. The IRC is responsible for
developing procedures,
criteria, and tools relating to the evaluation of all District functions
and activities.
It also develops and provides training pertinent to
institutional review. The IRC reports to the Strategic
Planning Council
for its role, process
and updates. The IRC reports to the individual
Planning Councils
for products.
