TITLE: 1979 State of the District Address.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1979
NOTE: 13 p.; Remarks presented at the Board of Trustees
Meeting (Los Angeles, California, September 26, 1979)
ABSTRACT: The running of the Los Angeles Community College
District incorporates two distinct kinds of functions:
those of an educational nature and those that are corporate
in scope. While the educational functions have been
performed well, the future will demand even greater
responsiveness to student needs. Issues to be faced in the
future to insure that these educational functions are
accomplished satisfactorily include the following: (1) each
college must develop its own distinct identity; (2) growing
numbers of foreign students will require that new programs
and services be provided to meet their needs; (3) more
emphasis must be placed on developing cooperation, rather
than competition, between elements of public higher
education; (4) commitment to affirmative action must remain
a top priority; and (5) the 1979-80 academic year will
require thoughtful preparation for re-negotiation of
contracts. With regard to corporate functions, major
accomplishments have been made in data processing and in
regard to the 1978-79 audit. Other notable efforts of the
1978-79 academic year were the institution of grants for
the purpose of developing, refurbishing, and upgrading
galleries and fine arts programs, and a proposal for a
tenth college in the district. (AYC)
