Academic affairs policies should be based on the mission statements objectives. The responsibility for these reviews is centered in the President s office or other administrative offices. The committees which perform these reviews are composed of a cross-section of the campus including administration, faculty, and staff. These reviews, based on the frequency of related documents, occur on a regular basis, at least annually. These reviews may not focus on the appropriateness of the mission statement, or the progress on goals and objectives, but concentrate on the activities of the college relative to budget constraints.
Many students attend the college because of the reputation of a specific academic program.
Publicizing the academic accomplishments of members of the college community may be one way of promoting the main mission of the college within the local area. The issue of promoting diversity at the college has been a concern for many years. Promoting respect for all people is stated as part of the mission statement, but achieving this quality is difficult, and a potentially frustrating process. Retention issues are not specifically listed in the mission statement. Increased retention rates is listed as a college goal.
