The Illinois Community College System has charted a coursefor the 21st century that responds to both the individual and communityeducation needs. This plan, named Vision 2000, is the culmination of regionaltown meetings which clarified five educational goals. It offers liberal artsand sciences programs, occupational programs, developmental programs, andpublic service programs. The first theme of the town meeting was teaching andlearning. It was agreed that the Illinois community college system shouldfocus on the individual needs of the students, awareness of latest teachingmethods and effective staff development programs, the teaching/learningprocess should utilize the latest technology, and give attention tocurriculum development. Additionally, the Illinois community college systemshould take a leadership role in the workforce, and become an activeparticipant in the Federal school-to-work program. The second theme wasstudent access and opportunity. Town meeting participants agreed thatcooperation between community colleges and other higher educationinstitutions is necessary, along with appropriate assessment, remediation,advisement, and low cost. The third theme, accountability, was determined torequire a common statewide definition of indicators, locally driven measures,resources for accountability initiatives, and focus on student satisfaction.Theme four, community, can benefit from cooperative relationships amongcolleges, partnerships with business, and collaboration among colleges. Themefive, resources, can be acquired through coalitions of faculty, students,staff, and the private sector. Appendices include a listing of town meetingparticipants and other contributors, and a list of the Illinois CommunityColleges' board, council, and association members. (YKH)

INTRODUCTIONIllinois community colleges comprise a dynamic system of 49 colleges whose 40 dis-tricts encompass the entire state of Illinois. While the individual community collegedistricts vary in terms of demographics, resources, and educational priorities, theirstatus as locally governed institutions allows them to address varying local needsuniquely. A major strength of the system is that colleges also work collaborativelyto address regional and statewide needs in an effective and efficient manner.

Illinois community college students are diverse. Approximately 29 percent areminorities comprising nearly two-thirds of all minorities in public higher education.Nearly 10,000 persons with disabilities enroll in community colleges, and 38,000 stu-dents with limited English proficiency are served annually. The average age of a com-munity college student is 30. Seventy percent of community college students attendpart time, and many work while attending college.

While community colleges have been highly successful in meeting the current needsof their respective communities, future demands also must be met. Accordingly, thesystem has embarked on a planning process that proactively addresses the needs ofstudents who are, and will be, in the workforce. This plan establishes a direction forthe system as it moves forward into the 2I st century.

The planning process had its genesis at a systemwide Accountability Conferenceheld on November 12, 1992. At that conference, a session was dedicated to round-table discussions that identified the major issues facing the community colleges inIllinois in the next few years. Following this conference, the Steering Committeewas formed and held its first meeting in February of 1993. The Steering Committeediscussed how best to proceed with its planning and solicit broad input on the issuesidentified at the Accountability Conference. The committee decided to develop"issues papers," then hold a series of "town meetings" around the entire state tosolicit input, not only from the community college system, but from other educa-tional entities, civic leaders, governmental leaders, and leaders from business andindustry. These meetings were held in each of the Illinois Community CollegeTrustees Association districts.

In all, 13 town meetings were held during the months of May and June of 1993. Eachmeeting addressed the five major issues identified at the Accountability Conference,namely Accountability, Teaching/Learning/Research, Advocacy, WorkforcePreparation, and Administrative /Interdistrict Relations. In all, nearly 750 personswere involved in the 13 town meetings.

Following the completion of the town meetings, the Steering Committee reviewedthe output and reorganized the issues around the following themes:Teaching/Learning, Student Access and Opportunity, Accountability, Community, andResources. A draft plan was developed around these themes, and each themeincluded goals, objectives, and strategies for accomplishment. In addition, a VisionStatement and Mission Statement were developed to provide overall focus to theplan. These statements and the plan were distributed in draft form to the communi-ty college system, town meeting participants, and persons representing the privatesector and governmental entities for feedback.

This plan is presented for the purpose of initiating statewide dialogue about commu-nity colleges and how they individually and as a system can move forward in themost effective and efficient manner to address local community and statewide needs

0,1

as the 2Ist century approaches. It is purposefully dynamic and will be modified asthe need arises. The next crucial step is for the colleges, individually and collectively,to develop specific strategies and activities for implementation of the plan's generalconcepts.

VISION STATEMENTit has been said, "Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where thereis no path and leave a trail!' The community college system must continue to be theeducational system that "go(es) instead where there is no path and leave(s) a trail:'It needs to stretch the minds of its faculty, administrators, trustees, presidents, andstudents so that there is more room for acceptance and development of new ideasand knowledge.

Accordingly, the community college system envisions the community college as aplace where:

teachers take pride in teaching, students take pride in learning, and the focusis quality and excellence;

a passionate thirst for new knowledge is instilled, both in students and instaff;

society's values are shaped and revised, and leadership, integrity, self-disci-pline, self-motivation, humanity, dignity, pride, and caring are purposefullytaught and modeled;

the experiences of students are directed toward developing each of them asinformed, responsible, and contributing citizens and employees;

the responsibility for accountability is accepted eagerly;

expressions and manifestations of bigotry, prejudice, and denigration ofcharacter are not tolerated;

no individual is considered to be inherently more important than another,and each is provided with an equal opportunity to achieve success;

actions are focused on interdependence, collaboration, and inclusiveness -"community" in its broadest sense;

communities are assisted in identifying and solving problems such as sub-stance abuse, crime, child abuse, and a variety of conditions that undermineand destroy their very fiber; and

the boundaries of our communities are extended to countries around theworld, and international interdependence is nurtured.

Guided by this vision and strengthened by this plan, the Illinois community collegesystem, through its locally autonomous colleges, will provide our state and nationwith their most productive supply of educated citizens.

MISSION STATEMENTAs an integral part of the state's system of higher education, it is the mission of theIllinois community college system to provide high-quality, accessible, cost-effectiveeducational opportunities for the individuals and communities it serves.

Focusing on individual educational needs requires a recognition of the diversity ofindividual student backgrounds and living environments. The colleges provide appro-priate counseling, placement, and other types of support services to meet diversestudent needs and goals.

Focusing on community educational needs requires extensive collaboration andcooperation with community agencies, government, business and industry, and othereducational institutions in order to identify community needs and develop strategiesto address them in a manner which is both educationally and economically sound.The system recognizes that the "community" it serves is multicultural, economicallydiverse, global, and changing.

Through the ongoing assessment of student and community needs and goals, it is theresponsibility of each community college to provide (I) a broad range of educationalprograms, services, and delivery systems; (2) the necessary development of its staff;and (3) an appropriate learning environment to address these needs and goals.

Community colleges will meet these challenges by offering:

Liberal Arts and SciencesPrograms. Such programs areprovided either (I) to preparestudents for transfer to four-yearcolleges and universities or (2)to meet the personal educationalgoals of individuals throughouttheir lifetimes.

OccupationalPrograms. Such pro-grams are vocationaland technical in natureand are for the purposeof providing job train-ing, retraining, and/orupgrading of skills tomeet both current andemerging local, regional,state, national, and/orinternational labor mar-ket needs.

THEME 1: TEACHING/LEARNINGThe Illinois community college system continuously strives to provide quality educa-tion at an affordable cost. The hallmark of the community college system is itsemphasis on teaching/learning. Therefore, it is not surprising that teaching/learningissues emerged as the most prevalent theme during the regional town meeting dis-cussions.

Regional town meeting participants agreed that meeting the diverse needs of stu-dents is a critical component of the teaching/learning process. As people discussedways that the system should be serving its students, several themes developed:teaching should focus on the individual needs and varying abilities of students; com-munity college faculty need to be aware of the latest teaching methods and researchon how adult students learn through effective staff development programs; theteaching/learning process should utilize the latest technology available to enhancethe depth of understanding and to increase the amount learned in a given amount oftime; and attention needs to be given to curriculum development to ensure that thecontent to be learned by students is relevant, current, and well organized.

THEME 2: STUDENT ACCESS ANDOPPORTUNITY

The comprehensive community college system was built upon the concept ofaccess. It is the only system of higher education that provides access to a wide vari-ety of educational opportunities for all who can benefit from such endeavors. TheAmerican Association of Community Colleges has affirmed, "The nation's communi-ty colleges should vigorously reaffirm equality of opportunity as an essential goal.Every college should declare, with pride and conviction, its determination to serveall ages and racial and ethnic groups:'

Access and opportunity are enhanced when the educational goal pursued is afford-able. A hallmark of community colleges is their relatively low student tuitioncharges. When combined with quality instruction and physical accessibility, low costto students provides a major incentive for students to pursue their postsecondaryeducation at community colleges.

In a period of scarce resources, the concept of accessibility and opportunity raises anumber of issues, several of which surfaced during regional town meetings. Arethere unnecessary barriers to access such as the "chargeback" and current coopera-tive agreement policies? Are there ways of sharing resources within and amonginstitutions that will increase access and enable community colleges to remainaffordable to all? Are the needs of "circuit rider" students, i.e., those students whoattend several institutions in their pursuit of higher education, being met?

Town meeting participants concluded that greater cooperationboth among com-munity colleges and with baccalaureate degree-granting institutions through partner-ships, regional consortia, and telecommunications networkingis the answer tomany of the access issues. Access alone is not enough. It must be accompanied byappropriate assessment, remediation, and advisement.

GOAL I: The Illinois community college system should ensure thatall Illinoisans have access to community college educationalopportunities. In order to accomplish this goal, the systemshould:

Objective I: Eliminate barriers to access.

Strategy I. Review and revise chargeback policies as needed.

Strategy 2. Encourage cooperative agreements between community col-leges while ensuring they do not create barriers to access.

Objective 2: Ensure that regional consortia members work together to meet theneeds of their areas through shared programs and resources.

Strategy I. Identify and prioritize programming needs for a region.

Strategy 2. Determine who can best deliver those programs and ser-vices.

Strategy 3. Select the best delivery methods for making programs andservices available to all who need them.

Objective 3: Establish a statewide telecommunications network to expand educa-tional opportunities.

Strategy I. Continue to secure funding for the expansion of the network.

Strategy 2. Train and support faculty in the use of technology.

Strategy 3. Identify programming needs to make the most effective andefficient use of the network.

Strategy 4. Review and develop policies for using the network.

Objective 4: Maintain the community college as the most affordable opportunityfor students pursuing postsecondary education.

Strategy I. Compare tuition and fee charges at each community collegeto those of other postsecondary educational institutions.

Strategy 2. Conduct studies of student affordability to determine whentuition and fee charges constitute barriers to students enter-ing community colleges.

Output Measures:

GOAL 2:

Revised chargeback policiesRevised cooperative agreement policiesRegional consortia activity reportsTelecommunications-based instructional delivery networkTelecommunications-based instructional delivery policiesTelecommunications-based instructional delivery trainingDocumented benefits of telecommunicationsAffordability studies

The Illinois community college system should take all stepspossible to ensure that community college students haveaccess to baccalaureate degree-granting institutions. Inorder to accomplish this goal, the system should:

Objective I: Promote articulation between community colleges and baccalaureatedegree-granting institutions.

Strategy I. Continue efforts to establish statewide agreement on coursesthat meet general education requirements for both transferassociate degrees and baccalaureate degrees.

Strategy 2. Continue efforts to establish statewide agreement on lower-division courses that meet major-specific requirements.

Strategy 3. Develop statewide articulation agreements for associate inapplied science and baccalaureate degree-granting institutionprograms.

Objective 2: Promote communication between community college and baccalau-reate degree-granting institution faculty.

THEME 3: ACCOUNTABILITYHigher education is in an era of accountability. The public is demanding that the high-er education community be accountable for how much it spends, how it spends, andthe kind of product it produces. At least 40 states have mandated that their highereducation institutions be accountable for their performance. Actions of the federalgovernment through such mandates as the Student-Right-to-Know and CampusSecurity Act, vocational education performance measures and standards, and theNational Education Goals Panel's call for assessment testing all exemplify theincreased emphasis on measuring the impact of education and on relaying the resultsto the public. In addition, regional accrediting agencies such as the North CentralAssociation have implemented such requirements. Peter Ewell and Dennis Jones havecalled this the "new accountability." This new accountability intimately connectsinvestment and outcomes, i.e., "return on investment." By all indications, the empha-sis on accountability will increase during the remainder of this decade. This commu-nity college system must respond to these calls for accountability by forthrightly eval-uating itself. The ultimate goal of this evaluation is, of course, to make improvementswhen and where they are needed. A secondary benefit is to increase awareness andunderstanding of the community college system.

In the regional town meetings across the state, participants discussed a number ofissues and strategies surrounding the accountability movement. Everyone realizesthat community colleges must be accountable for their performance; however, con-cerns arise as to what information is needed, how indicators of performance will bedefined given the complexity of community colleges, how the data will be used, howlocal institutional autonomy will be balanced with state mandates for accountability,and how these activities will be financed. Town meeting participants agreed that indi-vidual student goals and satisfaction must be taken into account in measuring studentoutcomes, a common statewide definition of indicators is needed if comparisons areto be made among institutions, some measures must be locally driven to reflect theuniqueness of colleges, and resources must be available for accountability initiatives.

GOAL I: The Illinois community college system should cooperativelydevelop local and statewide accountability measures thateffectively indicate results of student success and institution-al effectiveness. In order to accomplish this goal, the sys-tem should:

Objective I: Continue to refine comparable statewide accountability measures.

Strategy I. Develop a statewide uniform financial reporting system uponwhich cost/revenue indicators will be based.

Strategy 2. Develop common definitions for statewide indicators of stu-dent outcome measures for both short- and long-term studentgoals.

Strategy 3. Enhance data systems to provide information needed foraccountability.

Objective 2: Encourage colleges to develop additional accountability measures thatreflect their performance based on the uniqueness of their institu-tions.

Strategy I. Incorporate the concept of institution-specific accountabilitymeasures into the program review/PQP processes.

Output Measures:

Uniform financial reporting systemCommon definitions for statewide accountability measuresData systemsProgram review/PQP results of local measures

GOAL 2: The Illinois community college system should increase itsefforts to inform the public of its performance. In order toaccomplish this goal, the system should:

Objective I: Develop a plan for informing the public of its performance.

Strategy I. Establish a statewide task force to develop a plan.

Strategy 2. Identify information that is needed by the public.

Strategy 3. Develop an agenda for dissemination.

Objective 2: Disseminate information to the public.

Strategy I. Implement the plan.

Objective 3: Focus state and local reports prepared for legislative and generalpublic consumption more on accountability.

Strategy I. Develop a uniform, statewide approach to presenting account-ability data effectively at the local level.

Strategy 2. Develop an approach at the Illinois Community College Boardlevel for presenting accountability data in a way that is appeal-ing and understandable to the common citizen and govern-mental officials.

Output Measures:

Public relations planImplementation of planModel for preparing a local budget_Revised formats for state reports_

THEME 4: COMMUNITYWhile one of the espoused goals of education has been to increase socialization andinterdependence of individuals, much of the focus of the present educational systemseems to be the development of an increasing sense of self reliance and individualismin students. People are taught how to survive independently rather than interde-pendently and to produce technologies that make independent survival more possi-ble. As Alexis de Tocqueville observed, "people...form the habit of thinking of them-selves in isolation and imagine their whole destiny is in their hands." Robert Bellahalso observed a similar phenomenon and states, "The sense of cohesive communityis lost."

The American Association of Community Colleges continues to affirm "that thetheme 'Building Communities' (should) become the new rallying point for the com-munity college in America." The Commission on the Future of CommunityColleges observed that the term "community" is "not only a region to be served,but also as a climate to be created." It went on to assert that "The building of com-munity, in its broadest and best sense, encompasses a concern for the whole, forintegration and collaboration, for openness and integrity, for inclusiveness and self-renewal."

Many feel that the very fabric of society is unraveling for lack of a sense of "commu-nity." The family, as it was known a generation ago, is less cohesive.Neighborhoods, as they were known a generation ago, are nearly nonexistent. Thesense of "community," as it was known a generation ago, is substantially diminished.Community colleges can play a part in promoting a renewed sense of community.John Gardner has stated, "the community college can perform a convening functionat which representatives of various fragments and interests come together in unoffi-cial but serious discussion of community problems." He further states that thecommunity college can "be an effective convener, a valuable forum, a meetingground where the common good is discussed." The Illinois Community CollegeBoard agrees with Gardner and asserts in its philosophy statement that "The Illinoiscommunity college system has a responsibility to assist communities in identifyingand solving those problems that undermine and destroy the fiber of the community."

In regional town meetings around the state, people spoke much of cooperative rela-tionships among colleges, partnerships with business and industry, collaborationamong colleges and between local colleges and the state, and the formation of con-sortia of colleges to serve public needs more effectively. People sense that the com-munity college system has reached a point where more must be done about work-ing together if the system is to be both cost-effective and successful. In today's soci-ety, the concept of community has taken on a much broader meaning. Local resi-dents are neighbors and fellow workers with persons in countries around the world.The "community" is geographically expansive and multicultural, yet its residents areso "close" to each other that they can communicate and exchange ideas; even trans-act business instantaneously. A truly educated individual in today's society must beexposed, in depth, to the world's economy, the world's society, and the world's lan-guages.

THEME 5: RESOURCESThe community college system must seek diligently to acquire its fair share of funds.It also is important that the system be a good steward of its resources. Since thedemand for governmental funds is increasing, those entities that can show they usethese funds efficiently and effectively are the most likely to receive them.

The most important resources to community colleges are human resources - notsupplies, equipment, facilities, and dollars. Yet, it takes adequate funds to acquirehuman resource services. The more competent and expert the services are, themore it costs to secure them.

Education is in constant competition with business, industry, the professions, andgovernmental agencies for competent employees. Without adequate compensation,employees will go elsewhere. So funds are important; not only to compensateemployees adequately, but to provide proper working and learning environments aswell as supplies, equipment, and instructional support services. Obtaining additionalfunds should involve coalitions of college faculty, presidents, students, trustees,administrators, and staff and individuals from the private sector.

An additional concern to many community college officials is the deteriorating infra-structure of community college buildings. In the report entitled "A Road to Ruin"prepared by the Illinois Community College Board in 1992, the calculated accumulat-ed deferred maintenance problem at Illinois community colleges stood at $80 million!

GOAL I: The Illinois community college system should give priorityto securing and developing the most competent and quali-fied employees attainable. In order to accomplish this goal,each college should:

Objective I: Make recruitment and selection of highly competent and qualifiedemployees a top priority.

Strategy I. Review and evaluate current policies and procedures relatingto employee recruitment and selection.

Strategy 2. Establish goals for an optimal recruitment and selection pro-gram.

Objective 2: Acquire and maintain a sufficient core of full-time employees.

Strategy I. Compare the ratio of full- to part-time employees, by generalclassification, to those of peer group institutions.

Strategy 2. Establish goals for desired full- to part-time employees ratios.

Objective 3: Allocate adequate fiscal resources to the cultivation of an effectiveprofessional development program.

Strategy I. Compare current expenditures and activities to those in peergroup institutions.

Strategy 2. Establish goals pertaining to funding and staffing of an optimalprofessional development program.

Output Measures:

Goals for recruitment and selection of employeesGoals for full- and part-time staff ratiosGoals for optimal professional development program

GOAL 2: The Illinois community college system should ensure thatits existing resources are utilized effectively and efficiently.In order to accomplish this goal, each college should:

Objective I: Incorporate productivity analyses into existing college processessuch as program review and long-range planning.

Strategy I. Incorporate productivity analyses in program review.

Strategy 2. Incorporate productivity initiatives into long-range plans.

Objective 2: Reallocate resources based on college priorities and program quali-ty.

Strategy I. Evaluate and prioritize existing and proposed program offer-ings, college activities, and the resources needed for continua-tion or implementation.

Output Measures:

Program review/PQP reports

GOAL 3: The Illinois community college system should develop acoordinated strategy for obtaining its fair share of annualappropriations from state sources for operations and forcapital expenditures. In order to accomplish this goal, thesystem should:

Objective I: Develop a strategic, integrated, uniform, systemwide approach topresenting the strengths and needs of the community college sys-tem.

Strategy I. Form a coalition of college faculty, presidents, students,trustees, administrators, and staff and individuals from the pri-vate sector to work collaboratively toward increasing statefunds for community colleges.

Strategy 2. Develop informational pieces that all community college per-sonnel can use when talking with governmental officials.

Strategy 3. Hold workshops to explain the issues, the informationpiece(s), and the strategy to be used in talking with govern-mental officials.

Strategy 4. Adopt a networking process to provide those who supportlocal colleges with current information that will enable themto make informed and timely contacts with governmental offi-cials.

Strategy 5. Create a follow-up process to ensure that governmental con-tacts have been made.

Objective 2: Develop a program for meaningful involvement of local legislators inlocal college programs and activities.

Strategy I. Hold idea exchange meetings to discuss what has worked inthe past.

Strategy 2. Develop a list of successful practices for local college use.

Strategy 3. Secure the involvement of local legislators in college activities.

Output Measures:

Standardized statewide information piecesNetwork for providing current information impacting legislationSuccessful practices guide

GOAL 4: The Illinois community college system should develop acoordinated effort to draw to the attention of state andfederal governments the need to fund costs associatedwith mandated but unfunded or underfunded programs. Inorder to accomplish this goal, the system should:

Objective I: Seek funding for costs associated with the implementation by com-munity colleges of unfunded or underfunded state and federal man-dated programs.

Strategy I. Identify and develop estimates of costs to the community col-leges for providing essential, mandated programs; e.g., theAmericans with Disabilities Act, the Illinois Veterans Grant,and the Illinois National Guard Scholarship.

Strategy 2. Prepare legislative briefings, both written and oral, to presentlocal and statewide cost estimates.

Output Measures:

GOAL 5:

Cost estimates of providing mandated programsModel legislative briefing on mandated program costsIndicators that show mandated programs are funded or that the man-dates are removed
