The current contract in Article 11.6.2 limits special projects to two years. Since 2004-05,
a special project Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) coordinator has been provided at a
50% assignment. The parties agree to continue the current 50% assignment through
spring 2019.
The focus of the SLO coordinator responsibilities has changed from ensuring that all
programs had SLOs and assessed them to ensure compliance with new ACCJC
recommendations. In addition, this position supports the implementation of the
CurricUNET SLO module, the Institutional Effectiveness Committee, and campus SLO
quality control efforts. We have not yet reached 100% assessment of course SLOs which
is an ACCJC requirement.
The following table shows the changes in responsibilities for the SLO Coordinator from
the period of 2010 through 2014 and the new proposed side letter for 2014-2019.
