Collin County Community College (CCCCD) publishes policies
regarding responsibility and authority in academic and governance
matters in several of its publications. The Curriculum Development
Manual provides a thorough description of the role and responsibility
of faculty in the development of the College’s curriculum
(Reference 1). The Council on Excellence
Procedures Manual describes the faculty’s peer review role
related to recommending multi-year contracts for full-time
faculty. It also documents the Council’s role in governance
related to a) approving disbursement of funds to faculty
members requesting to participate in professional development
opportunities and b) approving funding for academic research
projects and projects designed to improve classroom teaching
(Reference 2).
The academic authority of faculty related to grading is
described in the District’s Student Handbook (Reference
3), which states that “the assessment of the quality
of a student’s academic performance is one of the major
professional responsibilities of college faculty members
and is solely and properly their responsibility.”
In addition, the specific rights and responsibilities of
faculty members regarding academic matters are established
in the CCCCD Board of Trustees Policy Manual (Reference
4). The faculty job descriptions also define the responsibility
and authority of faculty members (Reference
5).
