A total of 11 cities within the District boundaries provided 43.9 percent of all students attending the College in fall 2009, down from 55.3 percent in 2001. Ten cities located outside of the District provided 36.7 percent of the total fall 2009 student body, up from 26.3 percent in fall 2001. An additional 6,550 fall-term students reported living in a zip code that was outside the District but not among those zips associated with the 10 primary out-of-District cities. In the last two years out-of-District students have made up the majority of students enrolled at the college. Fall Term Change in Student Origins Source: Golden West College Office of Institutional Research; analysis by Cambridge West Partnership On average, from fall 2001 through fall 2009, Huntington Beach generated the highest percentage of students, accounting for 20.9 percent. Westminster followed, providing an average of 13.5 percent of the fall student body over this period of time. Together these two cities account for 34 percent of the District students attending the College. However, between the two cities, the change in enrollment volume from 2001 to 2009 represents a 42 percent decline in enrollments. The collection of “all other zip codes” that are out-of-District contributed an average of 25 percent of all students in the fall terms from 2001 through 2009. The change in enrollments from these locations between 2001 and 2009 translates to a 40 percent gain. Of the leading ten specific out-of-District cities, Long Beach provided the highest fall term percentage of all enrollments with an average of 4.1 percent. Santa Ana and Anaheim followed at 3.8 percent and 3.0 percent respectively. However, the change in enrollments from these three leading out-of-District cities between 2001 and 2009 actually translates to a -13 percent loss in the share of all students. Conversely, the change in the share of fall term enrollments between these two points in time for the city of Irvine (116 percent) and Laguna Beach (60 percent), indicate that the traditional patterns of external
Percent of Students Who Earned at Least 30 Units Source: Golden West College Office of Institutional Research A common measure of organizational performance is the success rate of students enrolled in the credit instructional program. The rate is a comparison of those students who earned a grade of C or better to the count of all students enrolled after the normal add and drop period.

Methods used to assure qualifications for each position are closely matched to specific program- matic needs: • Faculty and Educational Administrators - Minimum Qualifications as established by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. (Educational Administrators, full-time faculty, and part-time faculty positions). • All job announcements and performance measures are reviewed and approved by the Campus Personnel Office and the District Office of Human Resources. • Constituent review and input on position responsibilities, appropriate knowledge, skill, ability, and other desirable characteristics • Classified staff and classified management positions - Job specifications are periodically reviewed and updated to ensure classification and duties are appropriate for the position. III.A.1 Self Evaluation GWC meets the standard. The goal of the CCCD is to recruit, select and hire persons who are highly qualified (: Board Policy 7121, Employee Recruitment and Selection Policy). Position prioritization processes for faculty, classified, and short-term personnel are defined and incorporated into College planning processes through program review. This allows the college to evaluate both permanent and temporary staffing levels along with broader program assessment. The Faculty position prioritization process is conducted by the Academic Senate every two years, and provides Division faculty an opportunity to share program needs with one another and rank both new and replacement positions for full-time faculty by discipline. Classified and short-term personnel position prioritization process also encompass both new and replacement positions. These requests are presented through program review, and are ranked by planning teams in a two-year cycle. These rankings are presented as recommendations to the College President and Vice Presidents as funding becomes available for support staff positions. These rankings also provide the College an opportunity to assess program growth and/or decline to determine where staffing levels may need to be realigned to more fully support student ser- vices and instructional program integrity. Once position priorities and funding have been identified for hiring, District adopted recruitment and selection policies and procedures are followed for filling all vacancies at the College. These procedures ensure that a thorough review of qualifications for all personnel is done during each hiring process. The College also conducts extensive reference checking to verify experience and training. The District Office of Human Resources at the point of hire also does degree and experi- ential verification for all academic personnel. Additionally, the Academic Senate continues to fine-tune its faculty hiring request process. Currently, the faculty reads program reviews of departments requesting faculty and then asks questions of the department representative at a formal Q&A session. Senators rate each request,
III.D.2.a Actionable Improvement Plan None III.D.2.b Institutional responses to external audit findings are comprehensive, timely, and communicated appropriately. III.D.2.b Descriptive Summary Based on the external auditors’ annual audit, Golden West has had no material findings for the last six years. The District, in working with the colleges selects an external audit firm. This process is done in conjunction with the Audit and Budget Committee that has representatives from the Board of Trustees, District and the campuses. The District’s Internal Audit department coordinates the external audit effort and schedules accordingly with the campus. The audit process includes all general fund, Foundation, Enterprise and Auxiliary Accounts. III.D.2.b Self Evaluation GWC meets the standard. All correspondence with the auditors and responses to all questions and/or findings are compre- hensive, timely and communicated clearly and thoroughly. (: External Audit reports for the last six years) III.D.2.b Actionable Improvement Plan None III.D.2.c Appropriate financial information is provided throughout the institution. III.D.2.c Descriptive Summary The College community may review financial information at any time through the District financial management system, Banner. In addition, those individuals who require access to the auxiliary financial information have access to Dynamics, the auxiliary accounting software, to request up- to-date reports. Those individuals without access to the District system or Dynamics can request a report through the College Fiscal Services Office at any time and receive up-to-date reports and financial statements. In addition to financial information being available through the financial management system, regular updates are provided to constituent groups through P&B, Academic Senate, ERC Planning Team, and Student Life and Administrative Services Planning Team. If there is a specific item that groups are interested in, then a more detailed presentation will be made in an effort to keep everyone informed.
