Administrative Rule No: 4035-01

Title: College Advisory Committees

Purpose

Career and technical advisory committees have been established to advise the staff and the Board concerning program curricula and the employment needs in various occupations.

Statement

LBCC administrative guidelines mandate that each CTE program area has its own advisory committee, organized to advise the Board of Education and college staff regarding instructional programs in specific occupations. Committee members are appointed for a defined term. The committee, the primary purpose of which is to provide a link between the community and the college, is formally organized and meets several times each academic year. It has no legislative or administrative authority, but the communication between the school and community is essential to all community college educational programs.

The committees are comprised of members of labor, business, and industry associated with the occupations; faculty in the programs; students in the programs; and recent graduates from the programs. Other advisory committees are established to advise departments, programs, or service units. Minutes for advisory committees are maintained in the Academic Affairs Office.

Standards regarding advisory committees are further described in the Advisory Committee Handbook.
