Much has been written about proper implementation of program review. Extensive advise is available to help those implementing or revitalizing program review processes to avoid common pitfalls and build strengths into the processes. A factor for gauging the effectiveness of program review is the extent to which results of program reveiws are used for other meaningful purposes. Literature on the use of review results is less prevalent. Institutional researchers and others need to know more about program review's role in program improvement and institutional decision-making. Questions that need to be answered include the following: Are the program review reports and recommendations an integral part of the institution's budget process? What is the role of academic program review in strategic planning? Can the program review process be linked to the institution's outcomes assessment process? The purpose of this volume is to provide planners and institutional researchers with information on the uses of program review results in colleges and universities. This is the 86th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Institutional Research. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.
This paper responds to Resolution 9.05 Fall 2007, calling for an update of the Academic Senate's 1996 paper Program Review: Developing a Faculty Driven Process in the light of recent accreditation changes and other emerging issues. This paper has been written to expand on the best elements of the 1996 paper and to stand on its own without requiring that readers also review the earlier paper. Program review has evolved substantially since the development of that paper. Individuals and institutions engage in program review for a variety of reasons. This paper seeks to set a standard for program review in California community colleges based on the authority of local academic senates and their commitment to educational excellence, and also in light of external requirements. The Academic Senate continues to argue that program review must be a faculty-led process, motivated by professionalism and the desire to make community college programs relevant, effective, and exemplary.
