ambassador who will travel to Mexico to participate in a shared cultural experience. He will travel in late April, and he is also in the
first cohort of Presidential Scholars.



Institutional Advancement.
o Marketing. The efforts and initiatives are focused on increasing enrollment and occupancy in Perry Hall. One of the tactics
includes expanding the geographic reach and connecting with approximately 7,000 guidance counselors. This time last year, 17
first-time full time applications for Perry Hall, to-date, there are 31.
o The College has almost completed a website content audit.
o Annual Fund. The spring appeal letter (the first of four) has gone out in the mail. The golf tournament is taking place in May.
o Congratulations to those involved with the Capital Campaign effort. The donor event was well received and feedback has been
positive.
Workforce Development and Community Education.
o Staff is looking to implement recommendations to address revenue deficits related to open enrollment and corporate education.
o Welding Program. It has a 90% retention rate.
o The next program is on the medical billing and coding program recently approved by the American Academy of Professional
Coders. Guthrie and Arnot Hospitals are in discussions to send their staff to CCC for training because they will no longer hire
anyone taking online coding classes. This bodes well for CCC.
9
o Recognizing Linda Thomas, owner of Wellsberg Diner, being honored with the 2015 Woman of Distinction Award by Gov.
Cuomo. Ms Thomas was selected as the SBA award winner. Kudos to SBDC for supporting her.



discussed the NYCCT Foundation, and decided to dissolve the foundation for the time being. It is going on inactive status.


Trustee Blumer noted a correction to the Committee cover page; the Committee met on Tuesday, April 21, (p. 55) not on March 10.
Also noted a correction on time.
Two resolutions
Revenue is down, expenses are under control. The College will need to use approximately $900k of fund balance, approximately
$600k will come from unrestricted, and approximately $300k from the post retirement account. This equates to approximately 330
less FTEs than budget and 266 less FTE than in 2014. The fund balance will end up with 17% fund balance percentage versus the
operating.
Perry Hall. Occupancy is down. There is good news; approximately 55 Corning, Inc., interns will generate approximately $225k
during the summer. A portion of the extra funding will be used to reimburse a portion of FSA funding approaching -$900k. The
auditors highlighted this in their review.
There is an extensive marketing campaign to increase occupancy in Perry Hall. The Committee requested for year-to-year graph
comparison to see if marketing efforts are resulting in increased occupancy.
Discussed the FSA decision to close the child care center. There is a resolution in support of the FSA’s decision; there is also a
statement in support of students in the resolution as well.
Budget Proposal. It shows an additional 100 FTEs and a continuing operating deficit of $900k. The Middle States Team is aware of
this issue. The College’s challenge is learning to operate at lower FTE level. The College needs 200 FTEs to break even.
The College may need to look different, difficult decisions need to be made in the future and may need outside assistance with this
process.
Status of Capital Projects. The cash position is down significantly as a result of spending on the capital projects – library, Commons,
gymnasium, and turf field. The College is moving forward with the additional summer projects including the link project which will
begin soon with hopes that it will be completed by fall.
Status of Facilities Master Plan. The Committee is pleased with the direction of SWBR and the thought process behind a signature
CCC program. RBOT will review and discuss this further during the RBOT retreat.
Executive Director Little and the food service RFP team reviewed the RFPs.

WHEREAS, the Faculty-Student Association (FSA) Board of Directors has deliberated at length over the fiscal sustainability of
its programs; and,
WHEREAS, the FSA is dedicated to funding programs for the benefit of the entire College student body; and,

WHEREAS, the FSA remains steadfast in its commitment to assisting affected students obtain quality, affordable childcare

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Regional Board of Trustees of Corning Community College hereby supports
the decision of the FSA to close the Child Care Center; and,

because CCC cannot wait for fall the College has to be prepared.
ii. Generate a reorganization plan that addresses declining revenues across the College.

retirement in 2014. Prior to that, she served as Chair of Nurse Education and full time faculty member in the Nurse Education

review team member for the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing; Advisory Council member for the Nursing programs at
Mansfield University, Elmira College, and Alfred State University; President of the Professional Nurses District 3, and many more. Ms.
Hofstetter is known and appreciated for her organization, her attention to detail, and the high standards she holds for herself. As a result
of her commitment to the college and her profession, she received the Anne Marie Rossie Alumni-Employee Award in 2009. Upon
31
retirement, she accepted the challenge to continue her leadership through an additional year as part time Associate Dean of Instruction for
Nurse Education, a role particularly important as it was the accreditation year for the Nurse Education program and a new Director of
Nurse Education was appointed in that year. Her colleagues in administration and faculty whole-heartedly support her nomination for
Emeritus status.
Ned Strauser: Ned served as a Counselor at CCC for thirty years, retiring in 2013. He leaves a profound legacy of accomplishments
and influence to his colleagues in Advising & Counseling and to the College. He was a conscientious and knowledgeable counselor,
known for his compassion and integrity. He was the go-to person for advising on the Nursing program, he taught in the Chemical
Dependency program, and he served as guest speaker on mental health issues in many classes. He advocated for students, for his
department, for academic divisions. He served on Faculty Assembly committees, namely Academic Standards and Educational Policy,
for many years. Twice he accepted the role of Interim VP & Dean of Students in response to the College’s need. He was connected and
often volunteered with community organizations and resources such as Alcoholics Anonymous and substance abuse counseling
programs. He was known for his volunteer work in the community, with the Food Bank, Horseheads High School Athletics, and CCC’s
Red Baron Booster Club. Many a student and colleague owes Ned for the support, mentoring, and inspiration that led to improved
performance and success.
Penny Wilson: Penny provided exemplary service to the Biology/Chemistry Department and the College from 1991-2014. Within a
few years of becoming a full-time faculty member, she became the Division Chairperson, a position she held for almost ten years. When
the Bio/Chem Division merged with Nursing and HPER, she continued as Department Chair for Bio/Chem for another six years. She
was an outstanding leader, overseeing many program reviews, numerous new hires, and countless curricular changes. She was an active
member of Faculty Assembly and served on many shared governance committees. She was a strong supporter of Spencer Crest Nature
Center and the College’s sustainability initiatives. Penny promoted the College in many Open House, Start Here and other recruitment
events, and regularly supported her students after they left CCC and transitioned to a four-year college. Beyond the College, Penny
served as a regular judge at the Corning-Painted Post annual Science Fair, and served as an Officer in the Empire State Association of
Two-Year College Biologists, including terms as President, President-Elect, and At-Large member. She regularly conducted research to
keep current in Biology and Chemistry, and taught a broad range of courses. She was highly committed to student success and a strong
supporter of the Science Learning Center. Penny’s nearly 25 years of service to CCC won her the unanimous support of her Division
colleagues for Emeritus status.

In Trustee Austin’s absence, Trustee Wightman called the CASS Committee meeting to order at 5:31 p.m. and noted that there are two
action items on the consent agenda and four action items on the regular agenda.
Nurse Education Program Review. VP Eberly requested a change to the order of the proceedings to present the Nurse Education
Program Review first on the agenda. VP Eberly explained that this Program Review is handled differently than other reviews because it
is scheduled to coincide with the ACEN accreditation review. The last appendix in the program review is the final report from ACEN
acknowledging CCC’s reaccreditation. Many of the supporting materials are derived from the accreditation review process. VP Eberly
introduced Cathy Kunkler, Director of Nurse Education, Rachel Hofstetter, former Associate Dean of Nurse Education, and Nursing will
be reporting to ADI Deb Beall, who is the new ADI overseeing Nursing. Cathy Kunkler was the primary author of the program review;
Director Kunkler provided an overview of the Nurse Education program.

Access to clinical space is competitive. CCC negotiates with Alfred, Elmira College, and Mansfield University, among other sites,

Trustee Creath gave thanks and appreciation to Rachel Hofstetter for her work and assistance with the reaccreditation process and in
the Nursing program.
The CASS Committee recommended that the Nurse Education Program Review resolution be forwarded to the Full Board for
consideration and approval.

Consent Agenda


Graduation List. Motion to forward the Graduation List resolution to the Full Board for consideration and approval (Emmer, Morin;
unanimously approved).
Advisory Board Membership List. VP Eberly shared that the Advisory Board membership list will be reviewed and culled on an
annual basis. The Committee agrees to move the Advisory Board Membership List resolution to the Full Board for consideration and
approval.
Regular Agenda



Tenure.
o There are five tenure applications for review and consideration.
o VP Eberly noted a correction to the resolution. Eriko Motegi Heise is a faculty member in the Biology and Chemistry
department.
o The tenure materials/packets are available for RBOT review.
o President Douglas added that the packets are very informative (i.e., Patrick Burdick, math faculty, is a mechanical engineer who
taught on a Navajo reservation early in his career).
o VP Eberly indicated that she is contemplating changes in the tenure application process, including a streamlined template and a
page cap.
o The CASS Committee recommended that the Tenure resolution be forwarded to the Full Board for consideration and approval.
Emeritus Status. The Committee reviewed the candidates for emeritus status. Emeritus status is a symbolic recognition and
appreciation of an individual’s body of work over the course of their career. The CASS Committee recommended that the Emeritus
Status resolution be forwarded to the Full Board for consideration and approval.
Program Suspension and Deactivation: Energy Process and Technology, AAS. The Energy Process Technology, AAS, program was
developed in response to an anticipated increase in job demand in fracking. These jobs moved elsewhere. As a result, very few
students have gone through the program; at the moment there are no students enrolled in the program. VP Eberly proposes a
suspension of this program for three years in which time CCC will explore options for programs within the energy sector and craft a
viable program. The approval process through SUNY and the Department of Education is faster when developing an existing
program than when initiating a brand new one. CCC has three years to reactivate or discontinue the program. The CASS Committee
recommended that the Program Suspension/Deactivation: Energy Process and Technology, AAS, resolution be forwarded to the Full
Board for consideration and approval.
Report by the Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs. VP Eberly referred the Committee to the Academic Affairs report and
highlighted the following:
 Graduating Class Statistics. Statistics about the 2015 graduating class include: age, gender, types of degrees, counties, etc.
 Community College and Public Health Project. Elaine Corwin, a faculty member who recently returned from a sabbatical, is
developing a public and community health program for CCC, and was accepted for participation in a networking project on Public
49

Health programming by the League for Innovation. This is going to inform CCC’s new program and connect Elaine Corwin with the
best in the field.
Academic Affairs Restructuring. VP Eberly will be presenting the new streamlined and efficient reporting structure for Academic
Affairs during the next dessert presentation in August. Academic Affairs has been restructured from five divisions to three: STEM
(ADI Brad Cole, now includes computing), Professional Studies (ADI Deb Beall, now includes business), and Humanities and Social
Sciences (ADI Byron Shaw). Five faculty members were charged with proposing a recommendation. The new structure was
launched during the week of final exams, and VP Eberly has received a lot of feedback.
Report by the Vice President and Dean of Student Development and Enrollment Management. VP Ballinger referred the
Committee to the Student Development and Enrollment Management report and highlighted the following:
 Enrollment. VP Ballinger indicated that RBOT received and reviewed enrollment figures and materials during the RBOT retreat. VP
Ballinger highlighted the following recruitment and marketing initiatives.
o Goal 100 continuing and 160 new to achieve a 90% occupancy rate of 260 residential students in Perry Hall; this includes an
initiative for athletes (75 athletes to move into the hall – (24 returning and 51 new -- the coaches are working with Admissions))
o Targeted additional outreach to Rochester, Binghamton, and Syracuse
o Identified and targeting 490 continuing students who have not yet registered
o Recruiters have tripled outreach to 149 schools this spring, including 12 new high schools
o Marketing and Communications – last week a communication went out on Pandora, emails, and web
o As of today, 141 applications for Perry Hall (59 new, 82 continuing)
o Rooms: 100% sold out of singles, 90% sold out of super singles
o FTEs. As of June 15, new student FTEs are up by 18%. New student headcount is up by 20% compared to same time last year.
This translates to 64 more new students than this time last year.
 Corning, Inc., Interns.
o The interns moved in on May 31, 2015.
o Fifty three interns are residing in Perry Hall; 54 interns are expected.
o Interns have been encouraged to take in the sights in the Southern Tier and upstate NY.
o Executive Director English has developed and will be offering the interns a noncredit course that will begin in July.
o The new food service vendor is customizing meals according to the interns’ needs.
o So far, a positive experience for all involved.
 FSA Board. VP Ballinger directed RBOT members to the FSA board minutes included as a separate document on the iPads.
 Child Care Update.
o The FSA Board Child Care Subsidy Ad-Hoc Committee met resulting in the development of a letter to obtain more information
and action on behalf of continuing students. Letters went out to 19 continuing student-parents on Friday.
o President Douglas added that she continues to work with community stakeholders to identify options for a viable model for
community-based childcare center. Chair Milliken and President Douglas met with Mary Kay Hubbard recently to discuss her
proposal.
 Immunization Audit. The NY Public Health Department conducted an immunization audit of CCC student health records. Some
records were found to be out of compliance. CCC updated the current procedures. Any students who do not comply by the deadline
50
will be suspended from class and prohibited from living in Perry Hall or participating in any co-curricular activities. NYS DOH
provided written confirmation on June 15 of the College’s response to the audit findings as acceptable.

 The new student body President is preparing and planning goals for the new SAEB and upcoming academic year.
 Student Government provided snacks and drinks to students during finals.
 Student Trustee Grossman thanked RBOT and CCC for the opportunity and education. On behalf of RBOT, Trustee Wightman
thanked Student Trustee Grossman for his service and wished him the best in his future endeavors.
Measurable Standards for the CASS Committee. VP Eberly provided an overview of the Committee’s measurable standards.
 General Education. Propose to eliminate this as measurable standard because SUNY manages this process.
 Correction. SUNY changed the program review cycle several years ago to 6 from 5.
 FSA Minutes. Trustee Wightman noted that she was surprised to learn that the CASS Committee has not received not been
reviewing the minutes of the Faculty Student Association as indicated in the measurable standards. Trustee Wightman requested that
the FSA Board minutes, whether special or regular meeting, be submitted to the CASS Committee for review and discussion. VP
Ballinger indicated that going forward they will be included in the Committee agenda for review.
Trustee Wightman adjourned the CASS Committee meeting at 6:35 p.m.

Discovery Days: On Saturday April 25th, CCC hosted an event attended by nearly 300 people, including 75 middle schoolers
as part of the 21st century grant. All were invited to participate in hands-on classroom demonstrations in the morning, many
of them performed by current CCC students. The main event of the day was the keynote speaker, Dr. Arun Gandhi, grandson
of the late Mohandas Gandhi. His talk was inspirational with a focus on non-violence and understanding. The culminating
event of the day was a glass blowing demonstration using CCC’s wood-fired kiln for which several dozen people remained
into the early evening. This event seemed to inspire and bring together our campus community in a way that was energizing.
Faculty leadership, particularly by Psychology Professor Deb Borden, was essential to the success of the Discovery Day
event.
Accelerated College Program at CCC Re-accredited: Corning Community College’s Accelerated College Education
(ACE) program received re-accreditation from the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP). The
College (CCC) is one of only 12 colleges and universities across the country to receive this validation. ACE courses allow
high school students to earn college credit. The courses are taught by college-approved high school teachers. As the only
national set of quality standards applicable to concurrent enrollment partnerships, NACEP’s standards serve as the model
criteria for ensuring that the course content and expectations for student work in high schools match the standards of the
sponsoring college or university. To earn accreditation from NACEP, concurrent enrollment programs conduct a self-study,
document how their programs adhere to NACEP’s seventeen standards, and undergo a rigorous peer-review process
conducted by reviewers from NACEP-accredited programs. NACEP’s standards were developed and refined over many
years, serve as a model for quality standards in sixteen states, and are implemented by a wide range of higher education
institutions. CCC’s concurrent enrollment program is available in more than 40 high schools in New York’s Southern Tier
and northern Pennsylvania. High school students are enrolled in approximately 200 college courses offered by CCC.
Two students won the 2014 Arthur A. Houghton, Jr. Student Library Research Award. The first place winner was Charles

Edward Murphy took the prize for second place, writing a critique of factory farming entitled Once Upon a Time for Christine
Atkins' ENGL 1010 class. In addition to award certificates, Charles received a $250 prize, and Edward received $150.
CCC hosted the Southern Tier School Librarians group for their annual meeting on May 7, 2015. Pauline Emery of the
Southeast Steuben Public Library presented on makerspaces and Erin Wilburn presented on an innovative library instruction
technique. We also visitors from other libraries to see the newly renovated space and share ideas: three SUNY Cortland
librarians interested in the instruction lab on May 7, 2015; Onondaga Community College library chair Pauline Shostack,
54
planning a library renovation at OCC, upcoming on May 28, 2015; and Jamestown Community College library director and
multiple staff, including faculty professional development staff, interested in the Innovation Lab setup and use.
Academic Affairs Initiatives




A new reporting structure for Academic Affairs has been announced. The new structure features three academic divisions
instead of five, and reinforces the role of department chairs. The three divisions are: STEM (ADI Brad Cole; Professional
Studies, ( ADI Deb Beall), and Humanities & Social Sciences (ADI Byron Shaw). The division names may change as details are
worked out. Support staff have met to learn how their roles will change. Department Chairs are meeting over the summer for
discussion and training. The changes will be implemented prior to the start of the fall semester. Interim ADIs Brenda Gustin and
Deb Dunbar will return to faculty positions. A more comprehensive organization plan for Academic Affairs will be presented at
the August 13 RBOT meeting.
The University Center partnership with Alfred University continues to grow. In the fall, the cohort in the Childhood
Education Bachelor’s Degree program already has 18 matriculated students. Discussions have begun for Alfred to start a Master’s
Degree option in Literacy/Special Education, as well as possible degrees in Business and Criminal Justice. The University Center
will be housed in the Wellness Center Office Suites starting this Fall, providing the Center.
The Early Childhood Discipline has created the Corning Community College Early Childhood Leadership and Professional
Development Award. Criteria will be guided by Core Body of Knowledge: New York State’s Core Competencies for Early
Childhood Education. Any person working in an early childhood setting will be eligible: child care centers, Head Starts,
family/group family providers, preschools, etc. This award will recognize professionalism in this field, celebrate excellence in
Early Childhood Education, and remind our community of the role CCC plays in providing professional development
opportunities.
Professor Elaine Corwin has been awarded an opportunity to participate in the Community Colleges and Public Health Project
sponsored by the League for Innovation in the Community College. This project provides faculty the opportunity to participate in
a series of webinars throughout the summer and fall. All participants will submit program proposals in Community Health/Public
Health by December, after which the top 10 programs will be selected to be presented at the National League for Innovation in
the Community College conference in the Spring of 2016. While Professor Corwin has completed the majority of the work for a
Community and Public Health degree at CCC, with plans to shepherd the program through approval processes this fall, this
opportunity has the potential to reinforce the curriculum work and expand articulation agreements with transfer partners, and will
ensure that our program is guided by best practices and the most current research on job demand, marketability and transfer
expectations. It will also provide Corning Community College with an opportunity to be celebrated on a National level as offering
a premier Community and Public Health program.

Strategic Enrollment Management Planning
 The attached documents indicate College enrollment data comparisons and Spring/Summer ‘15 recruitment and marketing initiatives:
 Spring/Summer ‘15 enrollment efforts are focused on increasing enrollment in Perry Hall by enrolling an additional 100 new residential students to
achieve a 90% (260/290) occupancy rate for end of term fall 2015.
As of June 8, 2015, a total of 136 students have submitted PH applications for the Fall FY ’15-16.
o Of the 136 students, 54 are new students and 82 are continuing students which includes 42 athletes.
o Single bed reservations are 100% sold out (48/48), super singles are 80% sold out (28/30), and doubles are 27% sold out (54/202).
 The Office of Institutional Research Enrollment Update, dated June 8, 2015, indicates Fall 2015 FTEs generated from new student enrollment is up
25% (32.8 FTE’s) and new student headcount is up by 27% (75 new students) compared to same time last year.
o Overall Fall 2015 headcount is down 6% and FTEs are down 4% compared to last year.
o Fall to Fall retention of first time, full-time students (50.8%) is equal to Fall 2014.
 College recruiters tripled visits to local and regional high schools resulting in 149 total visits including 12 new high schools during Spring 2015
semester compared to last year. This expanded outreach including new athletic recruitment initiatives in Rochester, Binghamton, and Syracuse are
expected to yield an increase in new student enrollment.
o Recruiters promote the strength of our academic programs, quality of faculty, opportunities to live in Perry Hall and extraordinary
enhancements made to the Commons, Library and Gymnasium.
o The College hosted 6 groups on campus which included students from local high schools, GST BOCES and Pathways resulting in 265
students and 24 staff.
o A total of eight “College 101” Presentations will be conducted in addition to 4 “College Information Tables” sessions.
o The CCC regional Counselor Luncheon for 30+ high school was hosted May 28 resulting in positive feedback from attendees who toured the
newly renovated Library, EAC and Gymnasium.
Perry Hall Summer 2015 Housing
 Corning Inc. interns moved into Perry Hall on May 31 with several late arrivals expected in mid-June. Currently, 53 of the 54 interns are residing in the
residence hall this summer which includes several international students who are enrolled in colleges within the United States.
 A Perry Hall/CCC Orientation and Welcome BBQ provided by our new food service vendor, American Dining Creations, kicked off the start to a great
summer experience.
 The Office of Workforce Development and Community Education will be providing on-site intern training: Brown Bag It: Career Catalyst Series every
Thursday/Friday starting July 16th and ending August 7. 2015.
FSA Board, Inc.
 The FSA Board, Inc. met on May 4, 2015 ( unofficial meeting minutes attached) which resulted in the following actions:
 The approval of FY 15-16 Departmental Budgets
 The approval of Child Care Subsidy ad hoc committee to identify the amount of available subsidy and define the application and approval process.
New Borrower Budgeting Course
 The Department of Education has issued a Dear Colleague Letter clarifying additional requirements that the College is allowed to impose on federal student
loan borrowers. Institutions cannot require prior borrowers to complete any additional loan counseling or financial literacy programs or courses. Therefore,
the College will suggest but not require prior borrowers to complete a SUNY Smart Literacy course.
With regard to new borrowers, the College will continue to require the new borrower interview and the new borrowers complete a financial literacy course on
the SUNY Smart Track Website. As the Department of Ed has continually referenced “budgeting” as an important literacy issue, this year the College will
57

have students complete the Budgeting Course. Last year the new borrower cohort included only first-time students. This year the College will expand it to
continuing students who are new borrowers.
A new Cost/Resource information sheet is developed that will be included in the folders given to new students. This should help students better prepare for
the cost of attending in the fall as it highlights costs for tuition, fees, books and housing for those interested in living on-campus. Also, it provide information
on applying for student financial aid, information for parents on applying for the Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS), and information on
payment options included the College’s installment plan.
NYS Public Department of Health Audit
 The NYS Department of Health, Bureau of Immunization conducted an audit of CCC student immunization records to determine compliance with Public
Health Law (PHL) Sections 2165, requiring students to be adequately immunized against measles, mumps and rubella (MMP), requiring students to complete
a Meningococcal Meningitis Response form.
 Audit findings dated June 1, 2015 indicated the College must submit documentation by June 15, 2015 for the identified 9 students who were found
not to be in compliance out of the 100 student records.
 The College will revise current procedures that will exclude non-compliant students from residing or attending classes and campus activities if they
are not in compliance past the “grace period” as defined in the NYS DOH “Immunization Handbook”.

the nation’s largest leadership society.
 Students are selected by their college for membership based on either academic standing or leadership potential. Candidacy is a nationally recognized
achievement of honorable distinction. With 475 chapters, the Society currently has 481,154 members nationwide.
 Upon completion of the program, members receive their leadership certificate and take their place among the top student leaders at their campus and
across the country. Membership is for a lifetime and provides access to benefits including scholarships and awards.
 Once the College’s charter membership is established, this opportunity could be promoted as an incentive to attract future Presidential Scholars.

Spring/Summer 2015 Perry Hall Recruitment/Retention/Marketing Initiatives
Four targeted Spring/Summer 2015 Perry Hall Recruitment, Retention, and Marketing initiatives are implemented which will yield a 90% occupancy rate
(260/290) students by Fall 2015 end of term. The 260 residential students will be comprised of 160 new and 100 continuing students including athletes. The
attainment of a 90% occupancy rate will assist the College in achieving FY ‘15-16 enrollment projections set at 2925 FTE’s.
This occupancy rate will be achieved using the following four initiatives:
1. Spring/Summer 2015 Marketing and Promotion: (Perry Hall Fall 15 Enrollment Goal: 260 students)
The CCC Foundation authorized use of $100,000 in Marketing to increase Perry Hall occupancy for Fall 2015 to yield a 90% occupancy rate (260/290)
residents. A marketing/communication plan is being implemented, which will support the additional three initiatives to yield the intended outcomes. A
$1000 per student Perry Hall promotion ($250,000) is being advertised to new and returning students who enroll by August 1, 2015. Similarly, new food
service options will be revealed in mid-July.
2. Athletic Recruitment
A new collaborative athletic recruitment initiative is expected to yield 75 residential student/athletes comprised of 51 new and 24 returning residential
student/athletes.
o
o
Targeted marketing and additional visits to local and regional high schools have been implemented including expanded recruitment in Rochester,
Binghamton, and Syracuse.
The Office of Admissions has dedicated staff (P. Andrews) to collaborate with the Athletics Department to recruit potential athletes and track
enrollment outcomes of this cohort.
3. Continuing Students (Enrollment Goal: 100)
A goal of 100 continuing students is established including continuing athletes.
o
o
The Office of Advising & Counseling and Associate Director of Communications launched a communication plan to 490 non-registered continuing
students on June 9, 2015. This plan will continue throughout the summer to market CCC opportunities to register for Fall 2015 classes, encourage on
campus living and communicate the $1000 Perry Hall promotional opportunity.
As of June 5, 2015, a total of 82/100 continuing students have submitted PH applications for FY ‘15-16.
4. New Students (Enrollment Goal: 160)
A targeted effort to convert accepted students who have not enrolled will begin on June 9, 2015 using direct email, focusing on the College's four key
messages.
o
o
Recruiter visits to local and regional high schools during Spring 2015 were tripled (149 total visits including 12 new high schools) as compared to last
year which is expected to increase the enrollment of new students.
A process is in place to contact all individuals who have expressed interest in Perry Hall through the electronic marketing.
62
o
o
o
Per the Strategic Enrollment Plan 2014-15, the College set a target of a 2% increase in conversion of applicants to enrollment. Data will be collected to
track year-end capture rates, yield, and retention for prior year comparisons.
As of June 5, 2015, a total of 54/136 applications to Perry Hall are new students.
A first time promotion of CCC on-line programs within NYS will be implemented during the summer to increase enrollment of new students, including
non-traditional students.

Motion passed with one abstention.
Treasurer’s Report (Tom Carr)
Tom Carr presented the attached Corning Community College Faculty Student Association, Inc. financial statements for March 31, 2015. The report is
very similar to the report that was reviewed for January 31, 2014. Due From Foundation, under Assets, is the receivable due to the FSA from the
Housing Co. for our operation of Perry Hall. Due to Corning Community College, under Liabilities and Net Assets, reflects that the FSA is out of cash,
so it is using the College’s cash accounts to pay its bills. It is reflected as due from the FSA to the College. It appears under Net Operations that we are
doing well this year, however; as stated in the January report, the College Store is using up its inventory rather than purchasing additional material, text
books, etc. The earliest we will have a comparison of this year to last year with regards to inventory is June 30. The College Store will break even this
64
year, but will certainly not generate a profit that is currently indicated. Therefore, the amount of Net Operations is inflated by expenses that have not
been recorded yet, in the College Store.
The Schedule of Revenues and Expenditures, Other Revenues largely reflect the College Store due to loss of sales and declining enrollment. Expenses
are approximately where they were a year ago except Other Expense, which is the area where College Store inventory is recorded.
It is important to note some highlights of the various programs of the FSA. Student Activities is tracking very closely to last year at this time mostly
because they have reduced their spending pattern during the year. The Child Care is again generating a deficit this year. Residence Life shows a deficit,
but on a quarterly or semester basis, we are billing the Housing Co. for all expenses. Athletics will balance their budget by year end. All other FSA
activities are all related to graduation in which we have all the revenues, next month the spending will begin. Overall we will generate a deficit, but
other than the Child Care Center, all the other programs should come in at approximately zero for the year.
Motion made by Edward Dougherty and seconded by Jesse Grossman to accept and approve the financial report of March 31, 2015.
Motion passed.
President Douglas’ Remarks
Since the decision that was made at the last meeting to close the Child Care Center, Dr. Douglas urged this board to remember a few things as we vote
on approving fees for the coming year. One, there has been a very strong community reaction to the fact that we have fees dedicated for other programs
but none dedicated for the Child Care Center. Secondly, we have also had our recent Middle States visit, who pointed out that we will need to
implement the Academic Technology Master Plan. We need to find resources as well as increasing technology fees. Lastly, as we increase the cost of
attending Corning Community College, we potentially decrease some students’ capacity to attend.
Vote on 2015-16 Budgets
1. Rob Abbott
College Store
A question was brought up as to whether the College Store is going to introduce fees that cover freight. R. Abbott previously brought a request to pass
on freight charges to the student and was turned down. In order to add freight, the request would have to be brought to this board again for approval.
Discussion ensued regarding how the College Store can look at long term strategies to create revenue.
Motion was made by Edward Dougherty and seconded by Jesse Grossman to accept and approve the College Store budget for the fiscal year 2015-2016
as submitted with two additional contingencies: 1) provide a profitability market plan be developed and submitted by the November 16, 2015 meeting
and 2) we will authorize the College Store to charge for freight if they deem it necessary.
Motion passed with contingencies.
65
Planetarium
Motion was made by Jesse Grossman and seconded by Rob O’Connor to accept and approve the Planetarium budget for the fiscal year 2015-2016 with
a contingency that we will invite Dr. Eberly and Jenn Sellers to the November 16, 2015 meeting to give a progress report on the merger of the three
organizations into the Earth & Sky Institute.
Motion passed with contingency.
2. Nancy Agan
Commencement
Noted at the last meeting was a conversation regarding the possibility of Commencement being held Spencer Hill Campus in the future rather than at
First Arena. We should revisit the location, and take advantage of the opportunity to market our beautifully renovated campus.
Motion was made by Tom Carr and seconded by Jesse Grossman to accept and approve the Commencement budget as is without the $.50 increase for the
fiscal year 2015-2016 with a strong recommendation that Commencement return to the Spencer Hill Campus.
Motion passed with one abstention.

Chair Milliken called the Executive Committee meeting to order at 6:45 p.m. President Douglas noted that there are two discussion items and four
action items on the agenda and provided the following highlights:



MSCHE Evaluation Report. The evaluation report was uploaded by the Team Chair, Dr. Thomas Isekenegbe, to the MSCHE website. The report
will be presented to the Commission during the fall meeting in November 2015. President Douglas thanked RBOT members for their active
participation during the Team’s visit. Trustee Blumer asked if RBOT was considering a formal recognition of the Steering Committee. President
Douglas indicated that this may occur once the Commission approves the report in the fall.
Child Care Update.
o President Douglas continues to meet with members of the broader community and is working to ensure that student parents have access to child
care.
o Student Development sent a letter to parents communicating the next step in the process to obtain a child care subsidy (registration for the fall
term and completion of a questionnaire).
o SUNY. Since the CCC child care center closed, five other community college child care centers have also closed their doors prompting SUNY
to retract their offer for a one-time appropriation. Instead, SUNY is using the one-time appropriation to conduct a system-wide feasibility study.
Director Nicholas provided an overview of the three policy resolutions on the agenda:
o Child Protection and Mandatory Reporting and Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse Policy. In response to the Penn State incident, SUNY
developed child protection and mandatory reporting policies for the state-operated campuses in June 2014. SUNY encouraged community
colleges to develop similar policies and report on their compliance efforts by June 2015. The College is finalizing procedures in regards to
events sponsored by CCC or a third-party. CCC is invested in ensuring that children are safe on campus. Director Nicholas indicated that the
necessary procedures will be in place shortly. The Committee recommended that the resolutions be forwarded to the Full Board for
o Eligibility for Rehire Policy. Under the Affordable Care Act, the College is required to continue medical coverage for employees who resign or
retire and are rehired on even a part-time basis within 26 weeks of the effective date of resignation. This new policy limits CCC’s exposure to
insurance costs. The Committee recommended that the resolution be forwarded to the Full Board for consideration and approval.
71



o Shared Governance. Under the leadership of Jayne Peasley, the Administrators Assembly reviewed their by-laws and proposed changes that
require a resolution from RBOT. Revisions include: process for electing chairs, ensuring equitable membership between standing committees,
and instituting electronic voting. President Douglas noted that this is a triumph of shared governance and praised Chair Peasley for her dedicated
effort. The Committee recommended that the resolution be forwarded to the Full Board for consideration and approval.
Motion to enter into Executive Session to discuss litigation matters at 7:21 p.m. (Stemerman, Blowers).
Motion to exit Executive Session at 7:55 p.m. (Stemerman, Blowers).

 Reports. IR is generating reports for:

Douglas added that the CCCDF will be the applicant for the CFA funding and will also be the applicant for the upstate revitalization
initiative.
 Food Service Vendor Selection. The College has selected a new food service vendor, American Dining Creations.
o Trustee Baity added that the projections for the annual fund look good. Executive Director Little indicated that the goal is to surpass last year’s
performance. The first mailing had a stronger response than anticipated. Executive Director Little added that having Adriana Giancoli to
manage the annual fund has made a positive impact.

Workforce Development and Community Education Report. Executive Director English provided highlights from the Report:
o Workforce Education continues to struggle meeting revenue goals. The staff met on June 4 to discuss goals and expectations.
o Perkins Grant. Several grants were submitted: Perkins Grant $214,840 to continue to support CTE students with retention, completion, and
employment. The SBDC applied for Affordable Assistance Grant ($100k) to assist businesses with procurement and website development.

Trustee Creath posed a question concerning the relocation of the SBDC. Executive Director English indicated that CCC is currently exploring options.

best way to do this within the constraints of the budget. Trustee Creath noted that EDC Management would forego the leasing fee for space provided to
SBDC. President Douglas appreciated the offer and gesture and will take it under consideration.





Operating Report – May. Cash is up slightly higher because the College received early payment from Chemung County; this was added to the cash
balance in April.
Operating Revenues. Revenues are tracking as expected, lower against budget than one year ago because the College is 10% below the enrollment
target for the year; the College is still projecting 2,825 FTEs for the 2015-16 academic year depending on summer enrollment beginning during the
second session in July.
Operating Expenses. Expenses are tracking closely to budget and last year.
Net Operations. Net operations are down approximately $2m from one year ago; however the College generated approximately $1m surplus last
year. The balance projected will use $600k from the fund balance, another $280k from the reserve for post-retirement health insurance, and the
remaining gap will be closed by the College.
Perry Hall Report. Summer occupancy: currently 53 interns and 4 RAs, generating $217k in rentals. Corning, Inc., is paying for the costs of the
residency: meal, parking fees, program fees, etc. So far going very well.
The Finance and Facilities Committee recommended that the Operating Report resolution be forwarded to the Full Board for consideration and
approval.
Budget for 2015-2016. Projected enrollment of 2,925, an increase of 100 over current year due to the strategic enroll initiatives.
o Proposing a 2% increase in tuition, other colleges report increases above 2%.
o For the first time, county chargebacks declined; chargebacks are based on the CPI. The decrease in consumer price equates to $3 decrease to the
CCC rate.
o Using $600k from the fund balance next year plus an allocation from the reserve for post-retirement health insurance of $275k. This is a shortterm solution. Over 2015-16, Senior Staff will review enrollment, staffing, and organizational structures to ensure that the 2016-17 budget is
balanced without the use of fund balance.
o Trustee Blowers posed a question about the fund balance, VP Carr indicated that the fund balance will be at 15.5%; after 2015-16, it will drop to
approximately 13% at which point the College will make alterations in the budget to replenish the fund balance back to the RBOT-set 15% level.

o Trustee Kelley posed a question about tuition rates. President Douglas indicated that CCC’s strategy of remaining at 2% (municipal cap) is a
steady annual approach as opposed to large increases. This strategy is more predictable for students and their families. President Douglas
acknowledged that fall enrollment figures will precipitate a conversation about the future.
Included in the budget is a reduction of five full-time positions.
Trustee Blumer posed a question about benefit increases; Director Nicholas shared that the initial increase is running approximately 13.6% and that
the broker is confident that it can be reduced to 10%.
Due to recommendations from the MSCHE report, the College developed an alternate proposal with level enrollment (no 100 extra FTEs). This
budget proposes a revenue increase of $370k, increase in tuition higher than planned, increase in fees, and further reduction to full time positions, a
cut in salary for non-union employees, and other miscellaneous reductions as necessary.
The Committee reviewed the comparison of the adopted budget.
Equipment line budget of $100k is for equipment in Academic Affairs. The College is deferring the computer/laptop replacement program for one
year due to the outfitting of the renovated Library.
The significant increase in employee benefits is due to health insurance costs.
The College has to cover some of the Title III costs for the federal work study program.
The Committee reviewed comparison of rates – tuition rate vs state aid rate vs county chargeback rate.
Summer projects are underway and on schedule.
The Committee recommended that the resolution for the Projected Budget for 2015-16 be forwarded to the Full Board for consideration and
approval.
Trustee Kelley posed a question about the optional student health insurance program, and Trustee Baity posed a question about the College’s proof
of insurance requirement. VP Carr indicated that CCC has not made this a requirement for enrollment. VP Eberly added that some programs
require proof: Nursing, Health Services, and Perry Hall residents are required to demonstrate proof of insurance.
BDC. The resolution to not renew the lease will allow CCCDF to inquire about options for the property. President Douglas disseminated a draft of
the press release.
The Committee recommended that both the resolutions on proposed Tuition Fees and the resolution on the BDC be forwarded to the Full Board for
Trustee Blowers adjourned the Finance & Facilities Committee meeting at 6:29 p.m.

Information Technology Report
Database Upgrade – the Oracle database will upgrade to version 12c (C denotes the “cloud”). This will facilitate our implementation of the
Banner XE version 9 environment (i.e., the next upgrade from the Banner 8 version). XE modules will be installed as they become available.
Certain modules must wait to be customized by the SUNY SICAS Center before we can install them.
Luminis 5 Upgrade – The MyCCC environment is on-schedule to be upgraded later in the Fall semester. The current version will become
unsupported as of the Fall. Under the project leadership of Bruce Campbell, we will upgrade to Luminis 5.0 and will replace the current,
outdated content management system. Also, the upgrade will pave the way for the next major upgrade of Banner, termed XE. Appropriate
communication and training will be essential to the overall success of the upgrade.
IT Audit – the Office of the State Comptroller submitted its draft report, which will be reviewed on June 25th with College officials. The
contents of the review will be shared with RBOT in the August round of committee meetings.

The overall purpose of the Program Review process is to justify the viability of a program. It also provides an opportunity for faculty and administrators
involved in the day-to-day implementation, maintenance, growth, and development of a particular degree program to examine their efforts over the past
five years to see what’s been accomplished and to set goals and objectives for the coming five years.
126
Critical to this examination are the following questions:
1. Is there a continuing need for the program?
2. Is this a quality program?
3. Is the program successful and thus doing what it was designed to do?
4. Is the program cost efficient? Have there been changes in the cost? If so, are the costs explainable and acceptable?
Include all relevant information from each category that supports whether the particular program under review is a solid program that the College can
commit to for another five years. In addition to the data provided by the Office of Institutional Research and the Office of Administrative Services,
include any other relevant data that supports the assessment of the program.
127
THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Corning Community College (CCC) graduated its fiftieth Nursing class in May 2014. The New York State Education Department
granted the Nursing Department a charter in 1962; five years later, in 1967, the CCC Program was accredited by the National League for
Nursing (NLN) for the first time. The NLNAC transitioned into the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) who provided
the external site review visit in the fall 2015. The department has maintained a positive status with the accrediting agencies since its initial
accreditation.
The mission of the College and the mission of the Nurse Education program are consistent and reinforce one another. Policies of the
Nurse Education Department are congruent with College policies. The faculty are committed to the missions of both the College and the Nurse
Education Department and participate in the governance of the College and the management of the Department. Nursing faculty are actively
involved in College-wide committees. Nursing students are represented on College committees and participate in nursing planning meetings.
The Director of Nurse Education is a 12-month position providing leadership to the Nurse Education Department who can also teach up to six
Credit Hour Equivalents (CHEs) a semester. This position has administrator status and responsibilities. The Director of Nursing Education sits
on the Administrative Assembly, attends Faculty Assembly meetings, and may also be a member of a college committee. Biannually the Director
represents Corning Community College at the Council for Associate Degree Nursing (CADN) in Albany, N.Y., where issues related to Associate
Degree Education in New York State are discussed and voted on.
The quality of any program is dependent upon the clinical experience and expertise of the teaching faculty. The faculty’s diverse
backgrounds represent seven different Master’s programs, various specialties, and clinical expertise in many different areas ranging from
perinatal to geriatrics.
Student policies of the Nurse Education Department correspond with student policies of the College. The Department of Nurse
Education has developed specific eligibility criteria that address requirements related to nursing, such as prerequisite courses, health forms, CPR,
and health insurance. These criteria are available on the CCC Nurse Education Website for prospective students.
The Nurse Education Program at CCC utilizes a plan of systematic program evaluation that is consistent with ACEN and the program
review process of the college. This systematic program evaluation is used for the improvement of the Nurse Education Program and curriculum
on an ongoing basis. Assessment of the Nurse Education Program for the college as a whole is completed on an eight-year cycle concurrently
with the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) program review. All nursing courses are assessed in accordance with the
college assessment plan. A Congruency and Consistency of Educational Learning Outcomes grid illustrates CCC Learning Outcomes, Quality
Safety Education in Nursing, CCC Nurse Education Learning Outcomes and the Measurement identified which is carried out in the assessment
process. Additionally the eleven learning outcomes for each nursing course are identified as to the delivery methods, learning activities and
evaluation methods of the ongoing assessment process.
Data is collected using a variety of methods including employer satisfaction surveys, graduate survey, program graduate rates, National
Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) pass rate, state and national, course, faculty, and clinical site evaluations; tests and quizzes, Kaplan
testing, feedback from Advisory Board members, and statistics from Institutional Research. The Nurse Education faculty, with the assistance of
the Registrar’s Office, collects, aggregates, trends and analyzes the data generated for the systematic program evaluation.
128
The trending and collection of data for analysis is an area of concern in the external review, as well as the lack of qualified faculty to
meet the teaching needs of the student population. These are the two areas of concentration that need to be addressed. As the registration begins
for the fall 2015 semester, a full complement of students cannot be enrolled due to the lack of clinical agency faculty. There is a greater demand
for all nursing programs in our geographic area and the number of qualified nurse educators does not meet this growing demand. This is a
nationwide crisis which has been addressed in the past decade as the experienced nurses of our nation retire. CCC is not immune to this
challenging time in higher education.

EVALUATION OVERVIEW
147
The college elected to do a comprehensive Self-Study. It was clear that there was widespread participation in the Self-Study process and the Self-Study
document was thoughtfully prepared. A number of areas for improvement were identified, and the college is to be commended for the candor displayed
in the report.
Institutional Commendations:
The Self Study effectively reflects what the team observed during its visit.
The College has a dedicated faculty, staff and administration who are committed to the welfare and success of the students.
The College has a strong and engaged board that cares about the success of its students.
The Development Foundation is to be commended in its efforts to support the renewal projects across the campus through initiatives such as its recent
capital campaign.
The College is to be commended for the nurturing and maintaining a positive dynamic campus climate supporting a variety of services and initiatives
designed to support and retain its diverse student population in multiple locations.
The transparency and integrity of the program review process and the communication of institutional assessment results are commendable.
The College’s president, Katherine Douglas, brings strong and stable leadership to the institution. She has the full support of the RBOT and the college
community.
V.
COMPLIANCE WITH ACCREDITATION STANDARDS STANDARD 1: MISSION AND GOALS
The institution’s mission clearly defines its purpose within the context of higher education and indicates whom the institution serves and what it intends
to accomplish. The institution’s stated goals, consistent with the aspirations and expectations of higher education, clearly specify how the institution
will fulfill its mission. The mission and goals are developed and recognized by the institution with the participation of its members and its governing
body and are utilized to develop and shape its programs and practices and to evaluate its effectiveness.
The College meets this standard. Summary of evidence and findings
Based on the review of the self-study document, other institutional documents, and interviews with members of the Regional Board of Trustees,
President, faculty, staff and students, the following conclusions were developed relative to the Standard.
Corning Community College has a clearly defined mission that clearly states the purpose of the College and whom the College services. The mission is
reviewed regularly with the last review taking place in July 2011. This resulted in a new Mission, Vision and Value Statements. The Vision, Mission
and Value statements were approved by the Regional Board of Trustees (RBOT) Resolution in November 2012. The College has institutional goals that
are consistent with mission and goals that focus on student learning and institutional improvement.
148
The College’s Strategic Plan 2013 -2016 articulates four Strategic Goals which are consistent with the mission and vision with a focus on Student
Learning and Institutional Improvement.
The Strategic Plan was developed through an inclusive process that used Appreciative Inquiry and focused on leveraging the College’s strengths
towards institutional improvement.
All of the other college plans (Academic Master Plan, 2013-2015, Strategic Enrollment Management Plan) are all driven by and tied to the Strategic
Plan.
Commendation:
The institution is commended for its use of the Appreciative Inquiry process to develop and review of College’s Vision, Mission and Values. From
talking to the College’s employees, there is a clear ownership of the process.
Recommendations: None Suggestions: None
STANDARD 2: PLANNING, RESOURCE ALLOCATION, and INSTITUTIONAL RENEWAL
An institution conducts ongoing planning and resource allocation based on its mission and goals, develops objectives to achieve them, and utilizes the
results of its assessment activities for institutional renewal. Implementation and subsequent evaluation of the success of the strategic plan and resource
allocation support the development and change necessary to improve and to maintain institutional quality.
There is evidence of linked planning throughout all levels of the College. The Strategic Plan (2013-2016) reflects connections with the other plans
including the Academic Master Plan (2013-2016); the Strategic Enrollment Management Plan (2014-2017); the Academic Technology Plan (2014); the
final draft report Facilities Master Plan (2015-2020); and, Diversity and Sustainability Plans. The Strategic Plan clearly articulates four Strategic Goals,
which are consistent with the institution’s Mission and Values and its focus on student learning and institutional improvement. There are unit and
individual performance plans. There is an Assessment of Student Learning Plan (2014-17). There is a Strategic Planning and Institutional
Assessment Committee (SPIAC) which assists department managers with training on linking and writing specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and
time-bound (SMART) goals and outcomes, as well as assistance in defining assessment measures.
It is note-worthy that these plans were developed with involvement of all stakeholders and that they are now going through a cycle of improvement.
There is ample evidence (e.g. Google Docs - CCC Annual Unit SMART goal, assessment, results collection and the Strategic Planning and Institutional
Assessment Committee (SPIAC) materials folder) that assessment results have been used throughout the planning system to inform future planning and
to support the decision process for resource allocation.
149
Faculty and staff demonstrate a clear understanding of the Planning, Budgeting and Assessment Cycle. The (SPIAC) assists units as needed with the
planning and assessment processes and reviews assessment results of goals linked to the annual Strategic Priorities, communicates that progress on the
Strategic Plan, and recommends adjustments to the senior staff.
A well-defined decision-making process and authority facilitates planning and renewal. Senior Staff works with department managers to align unit goals
and budget requests, guide revisions as needed, and present a summary of action plans as well as a proposed budget to the RBOT. The Office of
Institutional Research uses SPIAC results to develop an annual institutional report card.
Regular progress updates are a part of the process in all areas of the College, and are used to monitor achievement of the overall goal. For example, the
VP/Dean of Academic Affairs holds individual meetings every two weeks with each of the Associate Deans of Instruction (ADI) in an effort to assess
progress of unit-level goals.
Many examples of changes made as a result of assessment of planning results were provided. Examples include: the reorganization of departments
within the Social Sciences/Social Services Division, and the development of a new Liberal Arts and Sciences A.A. program in the
Communications/Humanities Division. Individual faculty members are assigned the responsibility of implementing any changes based on the results of
assessment of single-section courses, and Department Chairs coordinate the implementation of any changes based on assessment results of multi-section
courses.
A review of the projects from the 2008-2013 Facilities Master Plan supported the decision to bring student housing to campus. Additional projects
resulting from that review included the renovation and expansion of the Library to include a Library Learning Commons; renovation of the Student
Commons and the Gymnasium; and, the construction of a turf field.
Commendation:
The team concurs with the self-study strengths and commends the College for re-envisioning the Library as the place for comprehensive out-of-class
learning support, and renovating the Student Commons to support a “front door” concept to improve focus on student persistence and success, and
finally, the renovation of the Gymnasium and the construction of a turf field to help improve student engagement.
Recommendation:
The team concurs with The College’s own recommendation to fully align and integrate all of the linked institutional plans to ensure a clear focus on
priorities for institutional improvement, enhance communication across constituencies, and clarify the responsibility for goals shared across units.
Additionally, for those plans that do not currently display them, benchmarks for performance on the remaining initiatives should be set to help guide
progress on the top priority items.
Suggestion:
150
As the College streamlines these plans they should identify a cost effective transparent solution (such as SmartSheet) to easily display the inter-linking
of the initiatives.
STANDARD 3- INSTITUTIONAL RESOURCES
The human, financial, technical, facilities, and other resources necessary to achieve an institution’s mission and goals are available and accessible. In the
contest of the institution’s mission, the effective and efficient uses of the institution’s resources are analyzed as part of the ongoing outcomes
assessment.
President, faculty, and staff, the following conclusions were developed relative to the Standard.
The College uses a number of policies and procedures to determine the allocation of resources as part of the budget process. The allocation of expenses
for functional areas appears in the notes to the annual audited financial statements, which reflects whether the targets were met for the allocation of
annual expenditures.
Senior administration provides the RBOT with a comprehensive monthly operations report. The report is quite useful for sound decision-making.
Reports include current staffing levels and position vacancies, which are reviewed on an on-going basis with a goal to ensure adequate staffing.
The College has a well-defined transparent budget development process included in its Planning, Budgeting and Assessment Cycle. Senior Staff
develops the budget priorities, based on the Strategic Plan, with department managers requesting any proposed changes to the department budget.
Budget proposals are driven by the imperative to fulfill the Mission and execute the Strategic Plan.
A comprehensive facilities master plan has been developed for the period 2015-2020, with anticipated final approval by the RBOT during June,
2015.The plan supports the College’s strategic initiatives.
Unqualified opinions were expressed in the audits for the years ending August 2013 and 2014, with no issues identified in the auditor’s management
letter.
The College possesses adequate internal controls to address financial, administrative and auxiliary operations for the College, Development Foundation
and Faculty-Student Association.
The College, through its Development Foundation, constructed residential housing, which opened in August, 2013. Actual occupancy rates are currently
well below projections, resulting in a net operating deficit during the initial period of operations. Given the continued downturn in enrollments and its
direct impact on the College’s financial position, the Regional Board of Trustees established a target ratio of 15% of operations for the College’s Fund
Balance. The five year budget projections list the Fund Balance at less than this target figure based on projected deficits for fiscal years 2015 and 2016.
151
The Faculty-Student Association is a separate non-profit organization with the purpose of providing educational and social services to students, faculty
and staff and administering the income from general activities and student activity fees. There is a major concern regarding the long term financial
sustainability of this entity, given the support it provides to the residential housing project, if the Development Foundation determines it cannot
reimburse the FSA foe housing expenses already incurred.
Commendations:
The monthly operations report provided by the Vice President of Administrative Services is a very informative and useful management decision-making
tool for the RBOT.
The Development Foundation has exceeded its $3 million capital campaign goal to support the renewal projects across the campus.
Recommendations:
Given the continued downturn in enrollments, the RBOT and Senior Staff should accelerate the development of contingency financial plans/options
based on reduced tuition revenues for Fiscal 2016.
With the continued downturn in enrollments, it is strongly recommended that the College look at an organizational structure that more accurately
reflects a lower level of student enrollment activity.
Suggestions:
In addition to the planned enhanced marketing efforts for the new residence hall, a review should be conducted that would maximize the use of the hall
and the campus during the summer months. Given the projected unsustainability of the Faculty-Student Association, a three year financial plan should
be developed that would result in increased revenues, reduced expenditures, or a combination of both.
STANDARD 4: LEADERSHIP and GOVERNANCE
The institution’s system of governance clearly defines the roles of institutional constituencies in policy development and decision-making. The
governance structure includes an active governing body with sufficient autonomy to assure institutional integrity and to fulfill its responsibilities of
policy and resource development, consistent with the mission of the institution.
The College meets this standard.
Summary of evidence and findings
President, faculty, and staff, the following conclusions were developed relative to the Standard.
152
The RBOT is comprised of 14 members and includes a comprehensive committee structure of six committees—Executive, Finance & Facilities,
Academic & Student Services, Personnel, External Affairs and Audits. The RBOT members include a blend of business and education leaders in the
community, including student participation. This body possesses the expertise to govern this size and type of entity.
The RBOT is appropriately engaged in both the strategic direction and college policy.
The RBOT has assisted Senior Administration in obtaining resources to further the mission of the College.
The RBOT has adopted a Conflict of Interest Policy that ensures the academic and fiscal integrity of the College.
The RBOT, through its New Trustee Orientation program, has established a process for orienting new board members.
A board evaluation instrument was developed to assess the RBOT’s strengths and provide opportunities for improvement from the RBOT’s and
administrative staff’s perspectives.
Three Assemblies—Faculty, Professional and Support Staff (PaSS) and Administrators—are established by the College’s Constitution assures that all
employees have an equal voice regardless of position.
The Joint Council, which serves as an advisory group to the President, reflects a shared governance structure that can assure that College policy aligns
with the mission of the College.
Governance structure includes adequate representation by students, as representatives from the Student Association are included in the RBOT, Joint
Council and standing committees.
The College conducts comprehensive assessments of the governance structure.
Commendation:
The RBOT’s participation with the state legislature led to the College securing funding through the United States Department of Agriculture for a loan
for improving College facilities.
Recommendations: None
Suggestions:
None
STANDARD 5: ADMINISTRATION
The institution’s administrative structure and services facilitate learning and research/scholarship, foster quality improvement, and support the
institution’s organization and governance.
153
Dr. Katherine P. Douglas is well qualified, highly experienced and enthusiastic. She is empowered, within policy by the RBOT, to lead the institution
and facilitate the achievement of its stated goals. She is annually evaluated by the RBOT and other community members and faculty/staff provide
feedback to her on a Presidential Survey.
The President is supported by a well-qualified and highly experienced Senior Staff including the VP/Dean of Academic Affairs, VP/Dean of Student
Development and Enrollment Management, Vice President of Administrative Services, Executive Director of Institutional Advancement, Executive
Director of Workforce Development and Community Education, and Director of Human Resources. Senior Staff members submit a self-evaluation to
the President. The President
reviews the self-evaluation, adds a written evaluation, and conferences with each person. The Senior Staff has also used the SUNY 360 Skills Inventory.
The students are served by a well-qualified faculty and staff. Evaluation processes are in place. The College recently purchased a cloud-based
performance evaluation system that will link with unit goals and mid-year and year-end reports, and will improve data collection in support of the
Strategic Plan. The system will be piloted in 2015, with full implementation anticipated for 2015-2016.
The team received feedback that the faculty and staff are concerned about whether there are sufficient employees to realize the mission and goals of the
institution. The College has adopted a vacancy control process to review vacancies and determine whether positions will be refilled. In addition,
managers have the opportunity to review the budget plan with details pertaining to positions and vacancies.
The administrative leaders are well supported by direct and indirect sources of information such as the State University of New York (SUNY), the New
York State Department of Education, New York State, and other outside agencies. Feedback is sought on a regular basis through advisory groups to
individual programs as well as other avenues such as the 2006 and 2013 CLARUS Corporation Market Assessments. These include market
segmentation data and assessment of local employers’ workforce needs. External consultants are engaged when needed for data, information, and
guidance; for instance, the Strategic Enrollment Management Plan, Marketing and Recruitment aspects of the Strategic Plan, the Academic Master Plan,
changes to the Information Technology department and procedures, and the residence hall. Additionally, comparative data on community colleges in
the State and nation from SUNY Institutional Research, Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), National Community College
Benchmark Project (NCCBP), and the Voluntary Framework of Accountability (VFA) are used.
Information from internal sources is also utilized. Unit mid-year and year-end reports provide valuable assessment information. Budget information is
reviewed with supervisors in an annual meeting with the Vice President of Administrative Services. Annual individual performance review processes
provide supervisors information about each employee’s work performance.
The administration is well-supported by well-defined and understood decision-making processes with the capacity to address unexpected circumstances.
The team received some feedback about the length of time it takes for the feedback loop within these processes.
154
With external and internal information, decisions about policy, operations, units and employees can be fully informed. With so many groups and
objectives, it is a challenge to track response to all inquiries. Refining the plans and streamlining the business processes can be helpful.
There is clear documentation of the lines of organization and authority.
There is evidence of the periodic assessment of the effectiveness of administrative structures and services; e.g., in 2013-2014 Academic Affairs reported
undertaking an analysis of processes and
procedures, and the College reorganization to create the associate dean level within Student Development and Enrollment Management.
Commendations: None Recommendations: None
Suggestions:
The team concurs with the self-study suggestion to assess the new online performance evaluation process that is to be implemented for all full-time,
non-union employees.
The College, as it continues to refine its plans and evaluate the effectiveness of its recent reorganizations, should create some efficiencies of business
structures and mechanisms to reduce the number of meetings and the administrative workload.
STANDARD 6: INTEGRITY
In the conduct of its programs and activities involving the public and the constituencies it serves, the institution demonstrates adherence to ethical
standards and its own stated policies, providing support for academic and intellectual freedom.
The College has relevant documents/exhibits in support of this standard. The requisite policies and procedures manuals help guide the College in
achieving its mission, visions, goals and objectives in an impartial and systematic fashion.
Board policies, Human Resources policies and procedures, and student policies and procedures are found in both written and electronic format. The
College prominently displays its mission, vision and goals in many of the written and/or electronic documents. The College Catalog contains extensive
information about the College’s programs and services, including all required standard disclosure information. Basic college policies are detailed, with
much supplementary information available in a resident life handbook. Information for students is readily available in many areas of the campus.
The College’s website is the primary means of communicating with students, although the catalog, course brochures and other physical documents also
are available for students. The website is well-organized and easy to navigate. Web information is current and regularly updated.
155
The College clearly recognizes that a key element in providing an optimum educational environment for students is to embrace a focus on diversity of
ideology, as well as cultural and social backgrounds, to promote a positive community for all learners. To this end, the College has an active diversity
council to help guide the community on promoting diversity, which includes the development of a Center for Diversity and Inclusion.
Throughout the College there is much evidence in support of a positive and collaborative campus climate conducive to the teaching/learning process.
Commendation:
The College is to be commended for nurturing and maintaining a positive and dynamic campus climate.
Suggestions:
None Recommendations: None
STANDARD 7: INSTITUTIONAL ASSESSMENT
The College has a robust, comprehensive and inclusive institutional assessment process that uses both internal and external tests for accountability,
assessment of progress, goal revisions and improvement plans for programs and services. It is systematic at all levels of the College and centers on
strategic plan and mission achievement, especially regarding student learning.
The self-study and unit, department and division annual reports; academic and course program reviews; and, the strategic plan timetable and guide for
reviewing and revising the plan provide evidence of assessment that inductively supports local and institutional goal achievement. The
assessment process allows the College to track progress, identify needed improvements, and implement changes as appropriate. The entire institution
actively participates in the process: the Strategic Planning and Institutional Assessment Committee (SPIAC) provides information and guidance to all
levels of the College for meeting timetables relating to planning, budget development and assessment at key points throughout the fiscal year.
Membership guidelines, the timetable for advancing goals and for assessing them twice annually, and a formal meeting schedule are in place.
Participants note that in each of the three years that SPIAC has been operational, the planning and assessing processes have evolved and continue to do
so. They praise the participatory character of planning and assessing, despite the associated growing pains.
Managers assist their units in devising SMART goals; these are integrated with the strategic plan and institutional goals accompanied by relevant
outcomes and resource requirements. This input informs budget requests, so this confluence of planning, assessing and budgeting enhances the
actualization of plans. Staff members also form SMART annual goals for individual contribution toward achievement of the strategic plan.
156
In academic departments, the six-year academic program review is another means for assessing institutional progress with a particular emphasis on
program learning outcomes; program outcomes’ relevance, achievement and progress; and recommendations for program modification or deletion as
warranted. The study provides, and sample reviews show, ample evidence of program revisions. Some deletions have occurred. Program reviews are
transparent as they move through the departments to the Faculty Assembly, Curriculum Committee and the Assembly as a whole, to the Vice President
for Academic Affairs, Senior Staff, the President and RBOT. The Assembly also has an Assessment Committee that consults with the Curriculum
Committee through its Curriculum Program Review Subcommittee on achievement of program learning outcomes through course assessment. Faculty
and staff report that the multiple oversight of reviews has led to integration of efforts toward achievement of the reviews’ recommendations. An added
benefit is that operational silos are breaking down as cross functional opportunities for strategic achievement are identified.
Resultant achievements of the strategic planning and institutional assessment process include a Diversity Center and development of a formal diversity
plan. In addition, the Elmira satellite instructional site is a new facility, as is the newly refurbished library that now houses, in addition to the collection,
the writing, mathematics and science tutoring centers. The co-location of these services has yielded cross discipline benefits for student learning, faculty
and staff development and has increased demand for the services.
The College makes use of external measures to gauge, for example, student engagement (Community College Survey of Student Engagement), climate
(PACE), and market assessment through the CLARUS Corporation. Results of these and institutional assessment are disseminated to the College and
external constituents on a regular schedule; e.g., on Opening Day, etc. Reports of institutional assessment have evolved from a report card to a fact book
to a highly comprehensive Annual Institutional Assessment Report. It should be noted that additional numbers of external accountability requests are in
the pipeline, such as the community college benchmarking project to which Corning subscribes. On the horizon is SUNY Excels that is a developing
statewide accountability system with indicators in five criteria for measuring
institutional excellence. As a result, data requests will continue to increase both internally and externally, requiring resources for responsible, reliable
and timely responsiveness. Currently, one full time and one half time research staff comprise the institutional research office at Corning.
Commendation:
The transparency and integrity of the program review process and the communication of institutional assessment results are commendable.
Recommendations:
None
Suggestions:
Consider the creation of a dashboard to display critical assessment information for easy/quick reference and public information.
Determine institutional needs for increasing data and the capacity for institutional response.
STANDARD 8: STUDENT ADMISSIONS AND RETENTION
157
The institution seeks to admit students whose interests, goals, and abilities are congruent with its mission and seeks to retain them through the pursuit of
the students' educational goals.
The College has made intentional efforts to admit students whose interests, goals and abilities are congruent with its mission. The College offerings are
comprehensive and the enrollment process, including admissions, recruitment and retention, seeks to address student access and success. The
admissions policies and criteria are available in various formats to assist the prospective student, and these policies are successfully implemented in
support of the institution’s mission.
The College has implemented a series of programs and services that are specifically designed to assist admitted at-risk student populations in order to
help them achieve expected learning goals and higher education outcomes.
The College makes available accurate and comprehensive information regarding academic programs and the required diagnostic testing. The
information provides a step by step guide to new students on what they need to know from the point of inquiry to registration, including the
following documents required for enrollment, placement testing, financial resources, advisement and registration.
The College has clearly articulated its financial aid and scholarship policies and related procedures. The College employs various strategies to
disseminate appropriate financial aid information to applicants. The student Financial Services has a presence on the web page that is complemented by
a variety of print materials.
The College has adopted a college-wide system for evaluation of transfer credit. This system is outlined in the catalog and other appropriate College
documents. The registrar’s office is responsible for the evaluation of transfer credits so that the process itself is timely and responsive.
Advising, Enrollment Services, and Career Services have recently have undergone through reorganization for efficiencies and improved services. The
assessment of this new structure is forthcoming.
Commendation: None Recommendations: None
Suggestions:
The College should identify secondary and tertiary markets along with complimentary recruitment strategies that will aid the institution to stabilize and
grow enrollment.
The College should assess the alignment of advising across functional areas so as to ensure a seamless transition for students and effectively address
retention issues.
STANDARD 9: STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
158
The institution provides student support services reasonably necessary to enable each student to achieve the institution's goals for students.
The College supports students through a variety of services and initiatives, regardless of place or method of delivery. Student Support Services are
highlighted throughout the Self-Study and appear to be both an integrated and valued component of the college experience. The breadth and depth of
services included in the study, referenced in the appendices and showcased during the site visit, reinforce that the College actively engages and supports
its student body.
The Student Support Services provided by the College are most directly connected to key features of Corning’s mission statement. With an
academically diverse student body, the professional and academic staff that leads the student support services need to be innovative. As such, increased
outreach through social media has allowed student services to connect with the students in a timely and efficient manner.
The reliance on the College website and web-based applications allows students, faculty, staff, and alumni to easily access information. Paper and PDF
copies of the student handbook are available, but information on the website is not always accessible to students with disabilities using adaptive
technologies. A review of random webpages revealed that the information on the pages may not be fully accessible for those who use screen readers.
Additionally, several videos embedded on the webpages are not closed-captioned for the hearing impaired.
Commendation:
The College is committed to its role as a student-centered institution supporting a variety of services and initiatives designed to support and retain the
diverse student population in multiple locations.
Recommendation:
The College should review the accessibility of their electronic documents and webpages for compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act Standards
for Accessible Design (2010) and Revised Regulations (2011).
Suggestion:
The College should perform a comprehensive audit of current student support services to determine where gaps exist and develop strategies to fill the
identified gaps.
STANDARD 10: FACULTY
The institution’s instructional, research, and service programs are devised, developed, monitored, and supported by qualified professionals.
159
The College meets the standard.
Summary of evidence and findings
The College addresses its vision where learning transforms lives and its vision to be a learning- centered college by displaying a commitment to
teaching excellence. It provides strong support for professional development, encourages faculty research projects, and conducts classroom
observations by supervisors and peers. All faculty members, including part-time faculty (adjuncts) and continuing education faculty, are also evaluated
by students.
Faculty include academic department chairpersons and program or discipline coordinators. Ten percent of the faculty members hold doctorate degrees;
all other faculty members hold a master’s degree or the degree/professional experience equivalency in their discipline.
Promotion procedures are clearly defined and communicated. Expectations of faculty, promotion criteria, grievance procedures and academic freedom
statements are published.
While the College’s Faculty Development Plan highlights new faculty, there is evidence that the College has a commitment to providing quality
teaching on an ongoing basis via all its faculty development activities. This is demonstrated by activities within divisions, departments and the Center
for Teaching Innovation and Excellence.
Adjunct faculty have an annual orientation and mentors. Adjuncts work in conjunction with faculty in their respective departments/disciplines and use
the same requirements and master syllabi as those of full time faculty. Adjuncts also have office spaces and places where they can meet with students.
Accelerated College Education (ACE) certified adjuncts who teach in high schools use facilities and services in the respective schools.
Faculty members serve as college leaders in many ways. The Faculty Assembly constitution and by-laws, faculty members, individual faculty and
administrators confirm that faculty members drive curriculum and instruction. Faculty members lead many course and program assessment efforts and
use assessment results, including learning outcomes, to revise curricular materials and teaching methods. They serve on the College’s key committees
and lead the Curriculum Committee, General Education Committee and many other committees. Faculty identify themselves as being valued members
of the College community and are highly respected by students and by the College community at large.
Finally, as noted in student ratings of instruction, the ratings of faculty are above 4 (on a 1 to 5 scale with 5 being the highest) for all significant
categories, indicative that students value their faculty and their classroom experiences at Corning Community College.
Commendation:
Faculty are actively engaged in professional, governance and community activities.

None Suggestions: None
STANDARD 11: EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS
The institution’s educational offerings display academic content, rigor, and coherence that are appropriate to its higher education mission. The
institution identifies student learning goals and objectives, including knowledge and skills, for its educational offerings.
Corning Community College has many educational offerings consistent with their Mission, Strategic Plan, and Academic Master Plan. According to the
self-study, CCC offers one A.A., thirteen A.S., seventeen A.A.S., two A.O.S., and seven Certificate programs. The rigor and breadth of the offerings are
appropriate to the degrees and certificate programs offered. Learning outcomes for programs, listed in the college catalog, and for courses, listed on all
syllabi, are consistent for all locations and delivery modes.
The processes for new program development and Program Review demonstrate evidence of the quality and depth of content. Program Review includes
assessment of the program learning outcomes, as shown with course assessment data, and evidence from external industry leaders to determine
consistency with workforce desired skills. The cycle and approval process for Program Review is sufficient, and alignment of Institutional Learning
Outcomes with Program Learning Outcomes and to Course Learning Outcomes is evident.
Co-curricular learning is assessed and included in the Program Review as well as department year-end reports as verified by the Associate Dean of
Instruction and Student Services. Credit and advanced standing appears to be integrated with the learning outcomes and several methods are provided to
achieve credits. Corning Community College provides access to a Transfer Credit Guide and course equivalence database to ensure successful transfer
for their students. Offering courses at a variety of locations, times and online helps serve all students, and, in particular, adult learners. For example,
student needs are addressed and supported through flexible scheduling such as the More After 4 program.
CCC’s learning resources, facilities, library services, and professional library staff appear to be adequate to support the institution’s educational
programs. However, while instructional technology in some classrooms is sufficient, others have none. The learning resources are sufficient to support
academic programs and information literacy. There appear to be programs that promote student use of a variety of information and learning resources, as
indicated within the MYCCC PORTAL. The Library Services and communication staff assist students to promote the information literacy skills and
technological competencies students need to succeed. In order to ensure effective integration of technological competency, student as well as faculty
technological competencies should be assessed to ensure proficiency and necessary support is provided. Corning Community College needs to provide
students and faculty with the skills as well as essential tools to use new technology for their studies and teaching.
The newly renovated Arthur A. Houghton Jr. Library is impressive in its design and vision for being Corning’s hub for resources, active out-of-class
learning, and engagement for students, faculty, and community. The Library Learning Commons and the Center for Teaching Innovation and Excellence
161
(CTIE) are commended for exemplary support for students and faculty. As noted in the Self-study, the effectiveness of the new Library Learning
Commons should be included in ongoing assessment of services.
Commendation:
The design and integration of the Learning Commons as well as Center for Teaching Innovation and Excellence into the new Library is impressive.
Recommendations:
The College needs to find the necessary resources to upgrade its infrastructure and equipment and to implement the Technology Plan.
The College should revitalize the assessment of student as well as faculty technological competencies to ensure effective integration and delivery within
the curriculum.
Suggestions:
The establishment of a Teaching and Learning with Technology Committee and related faculty training plus ongoing support services are critical to
implementation of the Technology Plan.
Assess the effectiveness of the comprehensive learning support to be provided in the re- envisioned Library, including the new Library Learning
Commons.
STANDARD 12: GENERAL EDUCATION
The institution’s curricula are designed so that students acquire and demonstrate college-level proficiency in general education and essential skills,
including at least oral and written communication, scientific and quantitative reasoning, critical analysis and reasoning, and technological competency.
The SUNY General Education Requirement is designed to provide a solid foundation for college education and make transfers within SUNY as smooth
and seamless as possible. As part of the system, Corning Community College participates in the SUNY Seamless transfer initiative, which requires that
all A.A. and A.S. programs proposed or reviewed align with the SUNY General Education Requirement. Corning students must meet seven of the ten
SUNY defined Knowledge and Skill Areas in general education. Corning students are required to fulfill a general education program that is equivalent
to at least thirty semester hours.
A sampling of representative course assessments shows that skills and abilities developed in general education are applied to college majors. These
assessments and program reviews also highlight how graduating students are proficient in critical thinking, communication, mathematical concepts,
162
information literacy, global awareness, and civic knowledge. The College also provided evidence that shows the incorporation of values, ethics, and
diverse perspectives.
General Education requirements are clearly and accurately described in the current course catalog, as well as on the college website.
Assessment results of general education outcomes are infused through Corning’s course level assessment. A sampling of results indicates that findings
are used for curricular improvement, although the quality of these findings is inconsistent. The College should work to share best practices of its highest
performing departments with the rest of the college community.
Commendations: None Recommendations: None
Suggestions:
The General Education Committee should continue its work to house an online repository for general education results to facilitate widespread
communication of examples of “closing the loop.”
The team agrees with the self-study’s recommendation to “re-examine the number and selection of courses CCC has in each SUNY General Education
Skill and Knowledge Area in the context of our Mission and SUNY requirements.”
STANDARD 13: RELATED EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES
The institution’s programs or activities that are characterized by particular content, focus, location, mode of delivery, or sponsorship meet appropriate
standards.
The College’s commitment to developmental education is evident through its continued assessment activities and “first year experience course.” The
dedication and planning of the Developmental Education Steering Committee is notable, while additional support for continued initiatives is essential to
student success and retention. Institutional support for additional research, funding and innovative teaching resources would significantly support
implementation.
The related educational activities for certificate programs, additional locations, contractual relationships and affiliated programs are monitored and
evaluated by the College. Further assessment to ensure maximum usage of satellite locations would be beneficial. Certificate programs are evaluated
along the same lines as program courses, and adequate pathways are provided for students to move into degree programs.
Experiential learning and assessment of prior learning is sufficient, but expanded opportunities within the curriculum would be advantageous. The
Academic Master Plan goal to “cultivate interdisciplinary relationships and active learning experiences, such as team teaching, learning communities,
163
service learning, mentoring and flipped classrooms, internships/practicums, etc., to enhance student achievement of Institutional Learning Outcomes” is
applauded and resources to implement it should be a priority.
The Office of Workforce Development and Community Education (WDCE) supports the mission and strategic goals of the College. Although the
course catalog is available on the web, it is not easily found. The TAACCCT grant has sparked work on establishing clearly defined
course objectives and program pathways for non-credit to credit with evaluation by business and industry leaders. There is a process in place for
periodic review of assessment results and yearly review of resources. The Small Business Development Center’s engagement on local boards as well as
the WDCE’s work with Academic Affairs on consistent links between non-credit to credit offerings is notable.
Distance learning courses are available for Corning Community College students and publicized with related course materials and proctored exams as
required. The online courses do adhere to the same learning outcomes, assessments, and faculty standards as on-ground courses, but the quality and
academic rigor is inconsistent. The Academic Master Plan demonstrates a commitment to distance learning in 5.14 to “strengthen the oversight and
structure of online education.” In addition to working with the Instructional Technologist and SUNY collaborative initiatives, the requirement of
mandatory orientation for students and faculty as well as ongoing technology training is essential for success.
A system of established policies, observation, assessment, and requirements for quality designed online courses are needed to ensure comparable
expectations for academic rigor. Evaluation of sufficient student and academic services online in conjunction with integration of academic integrity
approaches should be conducted. As distance learning course offerings are expanded, review and consideration of state regulations as well as adherence
to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education Interregional Guidelines for the Evaluation of Distance Education will need to be addressed.
The Center for Teaching Innovation and Excellence (CTIE) Faculty Professional Development Program Plan is exemplary and provides extensive
training as well as support for effective course design and mastery of educational technologies. Related CTIE professional development for teaching
with technology and distance education courses should be required rather than just encouraged for faculty proficiency. The Crier spring 2015 issue notes
that students want access to additional computer lab and library hours.
Commendation:
Academic Affairs and Workforce Development and Community Education have made progress in establishing links between non-credit programming
and credit offerings, and Academic Affairs has implemented links between certificates and degree programs.
Recommendation:
The College should establish a more systematic review to assess the online course modality and require the faculty to undergo prior training for teaching
online courses. A mandatory orientation for students taking distance education courses should be required.
Suggestions:
Explore the possibility of expanded computer labs and library hours.
164
Increase coordination between Academic Affairs and Student Affairs for co-curricular and service learning opportunities for students as well as
enhanced community engagement.
STANDARD 14: ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT LEARNING
Assessment of student learning demonstrates that, at graduation, or other appropriate points, the institution’s students have knowledge, skills and
competencies consistent with institutional and appropriate higher education goals.
Learning outcomes assessment at Corning Community College is integrated into institutional practices of the College. Interviews with the Assessment
Committee, Associate Deans for Instruction, faculty/department chairs who have authored program reviews and annual reports of committees testify to
successful implementation of assessment of learning at the College. The 2014-2017 Assessment of Student Learning Plan is in place with aspirational
goals including those for retention; assessment of learning in co-curricular activities; continuous learning assessment at the institutional, program and
course levels; and enhanced professional development in assessment practices and methods. Additionally, learning outcomes assessment is central to
program review that, in turn, is emphasized in institutional assessment. This ensures decisions about program deactivation, modifications and
deliberative sequencing of course learning outcomes in alignment as appropriate with SUNY-approved general education outcomes. Considerable effort
with external advisors is exerted in the review process to ensure program currency and transferability as appropriate. On a six-year cycle, the reviews
move for approval through all levels of the College: from the departments, through the Faculty Assembly Curriculum Committee and full Assembly, to
the Vice President of Academic Affairs, Senior Staff, the President and Regional Board of Trustees. The Assembly has an Assessment Committee that
provides training, support and models of good practice in course and SUNY General Education outcomes assessment. The Assessment Committee also
consults with the Curriculum Committee’s Curriculum Program Review Subcommittee on achievement of program learning outcomes through course
assessment. Both direct and indirect assessment methods are used in course and program level assessment. A spirit of collaboration characterizes
learning outcomes assessment at the College.
Resultant actions of program review include program deactivations (for example, Fire Protection and General Studies), program improvements (for
example, reducing numbers of concentrations in Information Technology and Liberal Arts and replacing the Liberal Arts concentration with an
Individual Studies program in Liberal Arts, as there is a separate Liberal Arts Science: Mathematics & Sciences A.S. degree ), creation of a bridge
course for non-chemistry majors
taken simultaneously with upper level courses, and reduction of program goals in Electrical Technology-Electronics from twenty to eight.
Self-study surveys reveal the concern that the program review process is cumbersome. The Assembly’s Curriculum Committee is charged with finding
ways to streamline the review process and to ensure follow-up of recommendations arising from program reviews. The self- study recommendation for
an electronic database for collection and analysis of course assessment results is a step in the right direction. There is improvement in faculty
understanding of their course assessment data’s use in the reviews, up from 24% in the fall 2010 CCC Faculty Survey on Academic Assessment to 48%
165
in the 2013 Self-Study Faculty Survey. While understanding and participating in learning outcomes assessment, especially at the course level, appear to
be growing, administrative resources and support must keep pace to capitalize on the growing momentum in the faculty who, for example, request
additional professional development to increase their understanding of the range of assessment strategies and of program review components. The data
sets required for reliable program reviews are produced by a 1.5 FTE staff in institutional research.
In 2012, the Faculty Assembly approved institutional learning outcomes. Their relative newness to the campus may explain why faculty expressed in
2013 inability to locate them. This is being addressed in a collaborative effort between the Assessment Committee and the Academic Affairs Office, and
is part of the revised 2014-2017 Assessment of Student Learning Plan.
Understandably, faculty are most familiar and engaged with course learning outcomes. Program and institutional learning outcomes, however, should
have equal weight so that learning achievement is rationally and logically addressed on behalf of student success in their career, transfer or certification
program and life goals.
Commendation:
The College’s use of course level assessment in program review is commendable. Also, alignment in Workforce Development and Community
Education of standards for assessment and other instructional methodologies with those in the credit program is commendable.
Recommendations:
None
Suggestions:
The College should streamline the program review process and ensure timely administrative support for follow-up to program reviews’
recommendations.
VI.
SUMMARY OF TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
The visiting team found that Corning Community College meets all of the fourteen standards as described in the Characteristics of Excellence in Higher
Education. The team is pleased to share a number of recommendations for improvement as described in the report. In addition, the team recommends
high institutional priority be given to the following:
The team concurs with the College’s own recommendation to fully align and integrate all of the linked institutional plans to ensure a clear focus on
priorities for institutional improvement, enhance communication across constituencies, and clarify the responsibility for goals shared across units.
Additionally, for those plans that do not currently display them, benchmarks for performance on the remaining initiatives should be set to help guide
progress on the top priority items.
166
Given the continued downturn in enrollments, the RBOT and Senior Staff should accelerate the development of contingency financial plans/options
based on reduced tuition revenues for Fiscal 2016.
Also, with the continued downturn in enrollments, we strongly recommend The College look at an organizational structure that more accurately reflects
a lower level of student enrollment activity.
The College should review the accessibility of their electronic documents and webpages for compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act Standards
for Accessible Design (2010) and Revised Regulations (2011).
The College needs to find the necessary resources to upgrade its technology infrastructure, equipment and implementation of the Technology Plan.
The College should revitalize the assessment of student as well as faculty technological competencies to ensure effective integration and delivery within
the curriculum.
The College should establish a more systematic review to assess the online course modality and require the faculty to undergo prior training for teaching
online courses. A mandatory orientation for students taking distance education courses should be required.
