The Collin County Community College District Board of Trustees
has a clearly defined role and responsibility to provide
policy direction for the District (Reference
1). This responsibility is established in the Texas
Education Code and is followed by the Board and the College
administration (Reference 2). All actions
taken and decisions made by the Board of Trustees, including
policy actions, are documented in Board meeting minutes
(Reference 3).
Additionally, administrators and faculty members have written
job descriptions (References 4, 5),
which outline the various levels of responsibility for administering
and implementing policy within the District’s organizational
structure (Reference 6). An example
of the practical application of this standard is through
the Curriculum Advisory Board process, which involves faculty
in reviewing all proposed new academic programs and making
recommendations to the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
Programs approved by the President are presented for the
final decision, which is clearly defined as the responsibility
of the Board of Trustees. (Reference 7)
