POLICY GROUP A: RESULTS TO BE PRODUCED
The
College shall provide programs and services to residents of its service area,
with priority given to sites within the taxing district. Local tax funds shall not be used to
subsidize out-of-district activities. The
President shall report to the Board annually the extent and financial results
of out-of-district activities, including an appropriate allocation of fixed
and indirect program costs.
All legally-eligible communities are invited to voluntarily join the College’s taxing district and gain the advantages of in-district tuition for their students and participation in election of the Board of Trustees. Except when approved by Board vote, no specific commitments of facilities or services shall be made to communities considering annexation. Any such commitments are subject to review and modification by later Boards as part of integrated district-wide planning.
The President shall Report to the Board
annually the extent and financial results of out-of-district activities,
including an appropriate allocation of fixed and indirect program costs.
Enabling students to meet their educational goals should be the central organizing principle of College activity. While most of the work on this task will be done by students and faculty as part of the instructional process, the College shall also provide these other needed supports:
A.
Goal Declaration
The College shall help students relate their aptitudes and interests to career opportunities and the
Corresponding educational goals (which may or may not include further college education after ACC).
Accordingly:
[1] The College shall provide current information about the career opportunities in its area (including current demand, starting salaries, and career salary prospects), the preparation typically required for success in those careers, and the subsequent success by academic sector of ACC students in job placement and/or university transfer.
[2] Students shall be assessed as to their preparedness for their goals and informed of the educational
sequences ACC offers that would advance them toward those goals (or of an alternate supplier or method in cases where that would be in the best interests of a student).
[3] A declaration of educational goal (which may or may not include a degree or certificate) shall be
maintained (and updated at least annually) for each college-credit student to allow analyses of goal attainment.
B. Advising
[1] Each college-credit student (except those who at entry declare a clear short-term goal and decline an
advisor) shall be assigned a faculty or staff advisor prepared to assist with the specific educational goal of that student. For transfer students, this preparation shall include appropriate knowledge about their field and the articulation of ACC courses with their target college. For workforce students, knowledge of the student's target industry shall be included. In either case, students requiring remediation under state law shall be given assistance and advice on how to satisfy such requirements while advancing toward their specific goals.
[2] Students (especially those who have difficulty reaching their goals) shall be advised as to how to learn
effectively at the college level and as to what combinations of preparation, courseload, and non-school activities have been found to be consistent with academic success at ACC.
[3] Advising and counseling shall reflect a consistent philosophy of operational delivery throughout the
College, with task assignments implementing a coordinated plan allocating resources based on student needs and addressing both campus-specific services and college-wide responsibilities.
C. Financial Aid
The College shall fully inform students as to their opportunities for financial assistance to attend college,
and shall facilitate their use of those opportunities, especially for grants.
D. Educational Counseling
The College shall assist students in addressing obstacles to the achievement of their educational goals.
Accordingly:
[1] Counseling services shall be focused on enabling educational achievement. Counselors shall accord-
ingly work with students (self-referred or identified by faculty or staff as needing attention) so as to help them:
(a) make good use of the support services available at the College.
(b) understand how other students with similar problems have successfully resolved them.
(c) develop work and classroom participation patterns that contribute to successful performance in
school and in their intended career.
[2] Student-development staff shall ensure that student concerns are brought to the notice of the
responsible authority. Counselors shall therefore:
(a) inform the appropriate supervisor when a student reports any action by a College employee that seems contrary to College rules or policy.
(b) inform students of the College's appeal systems when appropriate, while respecting the responsibility and authority of instructors.
E.
Results
[3] [1] The college shall provide assistance to its students in
placement in jobs or further higher education
when they have completed their preparatory work.
E. Reports
[2] The President shall make a comprehensive
annual report to the Board on the extent and nature of College efforts and
results in this area. It shall list
goal-achievement rates by major/program, ethnicity, and gender, and shall
describe the participation in and nature of support services in this area. The report shall also include institutional
plans and goals for improving the College's ability to serve students who do
not succeed in reaching their declared goals.
POLICY GROUP B: BOARD
OPERATIONS
(formatting
changes)
1. General Delegation of Authority
for Board Procedure
The Board Chair shall decide any questions of Board procedure that are not addressed by, or that require interpretation of, law, Board policy, or specific Board resolutions.
2. Board Officers
The Board shall elect from among its members a Board Chair, who shall preside over Board meetings and shall coordinate policy-development activities and the Board-President relationship; a Board Vice-Chair, who shall coordinate the community-linkage activities of the Board and shall preside in the absence of the Board Chair; and a Board Secretary, who shall oversee and certify the records of the Board and shall coordinate monitoring of compliance with Board policy. These officers shall be elected at the first Board meeting after a Trustee election is completed, a year later, and when a vacancy in an office exists or is created by Board vote. No trustee may serve in the same office for more than two of any four consecutive years.
3. Board Meetings
3.1 Official meetings of the Board can be called, within the notification limits imposed by law, by the Board Chair or by any three Trustees. The Board shall not take a final vote on a topic at the first meeting at which it is discussed or at other than the regular meeting of the month or a recessed continuation, except if the topic could not reasonably have been discussed at a prior meeting or failure to take immediate action will cause significant harm to the College. This exception does not apply to adoption of a Board policy.
3.2 The College President and Board Chair shall develop proposed agendas for Board meetings in accordance with priorities set by the Board, with final authority on what is included in the agenda and agenda packet resting with the Board Chair. A motion to place an item on a particular future agenda shall, at the request of any trustee, be placed on the next agenda for determination by Board vote. The College President shall cause all Trustees to be sent the agenda and all supporting materials at least 5 days before the meeting, and shall cause all required legal postings of Board meetings. Only subjects on the agenda shall be considered at a meeting.
3.3 Robert's Rules of Order shall be used to conduct meetings of the Board and its committees, subject to these bylaws and applicable law. Final approval of any non-procedural motion requires affirmative votes in a public session from a majority of the full current membership of the Board. For procedural motions, amendments, and committee votes, the majorities required by Robert's Rules of Order shall be of members present and voting.
3.4 The College President shall cause to be kept all legally-required records of Board meetings. Minutes of the full Board shall accurately reflect the actions taken by the Board and the vote of each Trustee on those actions. When approved by the Board and signed by the Secretary, the minutes shall become the official record of a meeting. The Secretary shall have authority over how the decisions and activities of the Board are presented by the College.
The Board of Trustees has responsibility for formulating policy for the operation of the College. Accordingly:
[1] Division of responsibility: The governance activities of the College shall maintain a clear distinction between:
[a] strategic, values-based policies, which are the responsibility of the Board of Trustees,
[b] administrative rules for employees to follow in implementing College policies, which are the responsibility
of the President, and
[c] specific tactical decisions made in operating the various sectors of the College, which are the responsibility of various operating units, structures, or positions designated by the President.
[2] Policy development and review:
In accordance with the policy-governance model of Board operation, the Board itself will set its agenda for
policy development and review, based on its analysis of the strategic needs of the College after internal and external consultation, including consideration of any areas of policy development or revision suggested by the President, employee associations, community, or students. This policy agenda shall be updated twice a year, and the Board shall conduct a comprehensive review of its policies for relevance, clarity, and appropriateness each biennium.
The Board Chair has primary responsibility for
coordination of the policy-development activities of the
Board,
and shall act, with the assistance of the President, to ensure that the policy
topics identified as important
by the
Board are scheduled for consideration, that employee associations are notified
of policy-development
activities
in a timely manner, and that appropriate supporting information is
provided. Policy-consideration
procedures
shall provide each trustee opportunities to include alternative provisions in
the agenda materials,
with
preliminary selection by Board vote of which, if any, of the competing
provisions will be used as the basis
for final
consideration and amendment.
[3] Discussion of policy proposals:
Proposed policy changes shall be placed on the agenda for discussion at one or more Board meetings prior
to that at which adoption is voted on. College legal counsel shall report on any significant legal implications of
policy proposals. The
President shall report on any significant educational, operational,
fiscal, or administrative
implications of policy proposals, including any feedback
provided via internal shared
governance consultative
structures. Direct advice to the Board on policy is also appropriate from interested groups or individuals,
including employee associations.
The Secretary of the Board shall oversee Board-level activity in monitoring compliance with Board policies and directives. This activity, which will complement but not replace the oversight responsibility of the College President, shall be done without reference to the personal opinion of the Secretary about the value or correctness of the policies, and shall not extend to any aspect of College operations that is not covered by a current Board policy or resolution.
The College administration shall provide information and assistance in this task as requested by the Secretary, subject to an appeal by the President to the Board if any such request is felt to be unreasonable.
Other trustees who have questions or concerns about non-compliance should direct them to the Secretary, who shall pursue them at his or her discretion and shall report to the Board on any aspects of college operations found, in his or her judgment, to be non-compliant. If the Secretary does not pursue an issue to the satisfaction of a trustee, the trustee may bring the question to the Board for a vote on whether or not it should be certified as an important monitoring issue. The Secretary shall give priority to and make reports on any issues that are thus identified by Board vote.
The President (or Board Chair,
for Board activities) shall, for each non-compliance report from the Secretary,
provide the Board either a compliance plan, a
recommendation for policy modification, or an explanation of why the practice
in question is seen as already being in compliance. If
the Secretary thereafter states in writing that he or she continues to believe
that the practice does not comply with Board policy, the question must be put on the Board agenda as soon as practicable
for Board decision. If the Board finds that the practice is not in
compliance, it will require the President to achieve compliance.
Each fall, the President shall also provide the Board an annual schedule of planned routine and special-attention policy-compliance reports.
Non-compliance reports by the Secretary are only advisory; authoritative Board directives to change college practices can come only from a public Board vote.
Board committees consisting of
non-Trustees may be established by the Board to advise it on specific
issues. The role of Board advisory
committees is to collect,
and sort, and evaluate information and
to identify options for Board decision.
Such committees shall not deal with issues for which there is no basis
in policy for Board involvement. The
College President shall meet reasonable committee requests for information and
assistance, with the mediation of the Board Vice-Chair in resolving any
disputes.
The
Board shall each summer, and at other times as needed, decide on the extent and
nature of the topics for which it wishes to use the advisory-committee
mechanism. After considering suggestions
from trustees, the President, and other interested groups, the Board Chair
shall recommend for Board consideration a chair, membership, term, and charge
for each such committee.
POLICY GROUP C: COLLEGE
OPERATIONS
It is important that the
College create and maintain strong community linkages at many levels. Such linkages should be part of
coordinated plans based on principles and priorities adopted by the Board or
President. Accordingly:
A. Communication Linkages:
[1] Staff-community linkages: The President shall ensure that the College maintains a system to receive external information and advice on how the College can best serve its community, especially from sectors that directly deal with the College’s entrants or graduates. This system shall be structured so as to promote productive College-community interaction. The President shall also ensure that the College has appropriate representation in relevant community organizations and events.
[2] Board-community linkages: In addition to the activities individual Trustees choose to undertake as elected officials, the Board shall have an organized program of interaction with the community. The Vice-Chair of the Board shall coordinate this program, aligning it with a priority list adopted annually by the Board. The College shall provide electronic dissemination of Board-meeting proceedings, including cable television, whenever feasible.
[3] Citizen communications: Citizens may address the Board according to procedures published by the Board Chair, which shall be uniformly applied so as to provide fair access to all citizens.
B.
Operational Linkages:
The College shall respond to community needs by creating appropriate partnerships or contractor-client relationships with community organizations. Negotiation of such agreements is the responsibility of the President, subject to Board approval if they are multi-year agreements or involve expenditures in excess of the approval limits established in policy G-2, Purchasing. Proposals for partnership agreements should include an economic analysis, and should ensure that each party bears an appropriate share of the costs.
C.
Reports to the Board:
The President shall report annually to the Board on the nature and extent of linkage activities, on the financial terms and operational results of community partnerships, and on any plans or recommendations for changes in this area.
The Board of Trustees shall
designate an attorney(s) or
attorneys to serve in the capacity of legal counsel for the Austin
Community College District and to provide the Board independent advice and
representation in all legal matters affecting or potentially affecting the
Board or the College District.
College Counsel The attorneys shall be reasonably
compensated and shall serve at the pleasure of the Board. Counsel
The attorneys shall be available to handle all legal matters
for the Board and administration of the College District, and shall be responsible
to the Board.
Counsel The attorneys shall attend Board meetings
when requested by the Board or by the College President and shall be available
for consultation with members of the Board, the College President, and
individual staff members designated by the College President, and shall
undertake to represent the Board and the College in all matters referred by the
Board and the College President. When a
request for a legal opinion comes from a trustee, counsel the attorneys shall inform all Trustees of
the request.
The
College President, in coordination with the College legal counsel, shall cause
to be maintained and distributed a College Legal Manual that explains the
important legal provisions covering College operations, including those related
to the use of copyrighted material. The President shall keep the Board informed of
the status and disposition of any official notices, complaints, and decisions
related to College legal or accreditation issues.
POLICY GROUP G: BUDGETING
G-8 A-7. IMPLEMENTATION
OF FEES
[1] Student fees must be approved annually by the Board, with justifications, revenue/cost estimates, and proposed changes listed during budget deliberations.
[2] The implementation of a fee shall be guided by a different principle than tuition. In particular fees shall be assessed to cover identified costs, not to generate revenue.
(a) No course fee for credit
classes shall be imposed unless it can be clearly linked to materials,
laboratories, services, equipment, or specialized non-classroom-based
one-to-one instruction that are unique to that course. These are completely or partially consumed or
used by an individual student during the semester. Moreover, such consumption or use
must be in such a manner that re-use by future students would be adversely
impacted or not possible because of their nature or that requires frequent
replacement because of such use or consumption.
(b) In addition to the reason outlined in 2(a) above, no course fee shall be imposed unless it can also be demonstrated that without such a fee, the course would require a subsidy of general revenue funds. A fee may also be imposed for a credit course for which the college does not receive state reimbursement
[3] The administration shall provide to the board a justification based upon these principles prior to the imposition of any new fee.

*****
[1] The Board governs primarily
through written policies. The College
President shall cause all sectors of the College to be informed of the Board
policies relevant to their activities and shall ensure the compliance of
College activities with Board policies.
The College President may set additional administrative rules, as long
as they are consistent with and supportive of any Board policies to which they
are related.
[2]
The Board may use resolutions rather than policies for limited-term decisions
or directives. Resolutions are limited
in effect to the specific items and time periods they address, or for one year
if no period is stated.
[3]
There are no unwritten Board directives.
The only policies, decisions, authorizations, or limitations in effect
at the Board level are those explicitly listed as policies or active
resolutions in the Board minutes or web site after a public vote of
adoption. Individual or collective
statements by Trustees in any other form have no authority in College
operations. All trustees shall be
informed whenever the administration takes actions that address a request or
suggestion from a trustee. When an
administrator attributes an action to a Board directive, the relevant written
directive(s) must be identified.
[4]
To the extent activities in an area are not covered by a current Board policy
or resolution or an administrative rule, employees should use their own best
judgement to act in the interest of the community and students.
[5]
Board policies are to be used only to directly express the decisions of the
Board; they are not to be used to simply repeat or ratify either administrative
rules (which do not require Board approval) or external laws and regulations
(which the Board has no power to change).
[6] When a Board policy or resolution (except
one related to Board procedure) has more than one reasonable interpretation,
the College President may specify which interpretation the College shall
follow, with notification to the Board of any significant policy ambiguities
revealed by this process. Should a Board officer or any two other trustees
believe that the President’s interpretation of a Board policy is unreasonable,
the officer or trustees may request that the reasonability of the President’s
interpretation be put on the Board agenda for decision, and the Board Chair must
honor the request as soon as possible. All
requests for information from Trustees should be provided to the Chair, who
will coordinate the requests with the President.
[7]
The Board shall conduct a policy governance orientation workshop every two
years following the
election of any Trustee.
The Board of Trustees has the responsibility for formulating public policy for the operation of the Austin Community College District. It functions as the legislative and policy-making body charged with the governance and control of activities within the College District. The formulation and adoption of written policy is the basic method by which the Board exercises its leadership in the operation of the College District. The Board delegates to the President of the College the function of specifying required actions and designing the detailed arrangements under which the College will be operated. The Board maintains and supervises the College by evaluating information and recommendations concerning implementation of its policies. The general responsibilities of the Board are:
[1] To adopt and periodically
review a statement of philosophy that clarifies basic educational beliefs and educational
responsibilities of the College for the community.
[2] To determine the quality of
professional leadership needed to carry out the philosophy and objectives of
the College.
[3] To select and appoint the
President of the College, and provide a formal annual performance evaluation
based primarily on the effectiveness of the implementation of Board
policies. An informal feedback session
will also be provided the President during each summer quarter.
[4] To establish the policies
necessary for supporting operations of the College District.
[5] To review and take
appropriate action on matters relating to site and facilities development.
[6] To provide ways and means of
financial support, approve the annual budget, and review and approve expenditures
as provided in College policy.
[7] To approve courses and
programs of study that support community needs.
[8] To require and review
appropriate administrative reports.
[9] To consider inquiries and
requests from citizens and organizations on matters of policy, administration,
and other items of public concern affecting the College District.
[10] To serve as a final
adjudicating agency for students, employees, and citizens of the
[11] To bear the legal
responsibility for all aspects of the operation of the College District.
[12] To choose its
officers and advisors, and to plan its own activities and priorities

To develop an annual professional development plan for Board
members.
