Low Textbook Cost Designation Process and Form (2nd reading/discussion)
- Cost cut-off: $50 suggested by Marc Coronado, agreement from Mary Pape; Erik Woodbury concerned about sequence course book - What exactly is the cost? Divide by 3? E-text cost could be used instead of hard-copy; Cheryl Balm - When do we revisit costs? - Reconsider if wide-spread complaint by students or faculty; Lydia suggested DASB or Academic Senate bring up reconsiderations
- Not all faculty uses the same textbook for sequence courses - can’t guarantee faculty will use same book for sequence courses ● New purchasing price as baseline
- Cost per copy - print out to bring to class (reader) - 15 cents/page
- Process to make faculty and bookstore aware of costs earlier
- If students are required to print out themselves - DA Bookstore or themselves - 15 cents/page
- $50 or less, new purchase price, 15 cents/page, revision from “no-cost” to “low-cost”
- Rob Clem motions, Mary Donahue second, no objections, no abstentions - passed

Accreditation report from Mallory Newell:
After the site visit in October 2017 by a team from the Accrediting Commission for Junior Colleges (ACCJC), the commission gave De Anza three compliance recommendations that need to be addressed within 18 months, in order to reaffirm the college’s accreditation for the full seven years. Upon receiving the ACCJC letter in late January, Senior Staff agreed the college would work towards full reaffirmation as quickly as possible and submit a follow-up report for the June ACCJC Commission meeting, rather than waiting 18 months. This means the college needs to submit a follow-up report by March 6.
As you probably know, all faculty members have been asked to ensure that the SLOs on their green sheets matched the SLO on their Course Outline of Record. That grew out of one of the commission recommendations. We are confident that faculty, division deans and division assistants have worked diligently to ensure this happened and that the college is now in compliance.
The SLO Core Team has been working with faculty, departments and student service areas to ensure that all courses and programs have been assessed at least once in the past six years and that this information is entered in TracDat. We also feel the college is now in compliance with this recommendation.
Lastly, the faculty members whose online courses were reviewed by the accreditation team have now provided detailed information about the ways they engage students in substantive interaction. These examples are included in the follow-up report and we feel the college is in compliance with this recommendation as well.
The follow-up report is scheduled for approval by College Council on March 1. It will go to the district Board of Trustees by March 5 and be submitted to ACCJC the following day. During a follow-up site visit, scheduled for April 26, one of the visiting team members will return to determine if De Anza has met the three compliance recommendations.
The college will learn its reaffirmation status after the June ACCJC Board meeting. The follow-up report will be posted by March 6 on the De Anza accreditation website. If you have any questions, please contact the accreditation liaison officer, Mallory Newell.
