VP Office of Academic Affairs
The Academic Affairs Division in the System Office continually monitors issues and questions relating to minimum qualifications and, in consultation with the Academic Senate, regularly considers changes to these lists. Recommendations from the Senate to the Board of Governors are also developed through active collaboration between the local senates and the System Office. The resulting minimum qualifications serve as a statewide benchmark for promoting professionalism and rigor within the academic disciplines in the community colleges and a guideline for day-to-day decisions regarding suitability for employment in the system.
