WHERE ARE WE NOW?
Purpose, Goals and Relation to Institution’s Mission
The Business Discipline provides professional preparation and development in several business-related professional subject areas. It did not, however, have a discipline mission statement until recently. In the fall of 2006, the Business Discipline adopted the following mission statement reflecting its long-standing efforts in occupation education.
Business Discipline Mission Statement
The mission of the Business Discipline is to provide learning opportunities for preparation, promotion and professional growth in occupational and professional programs in business and related fields, enabling students to be more knowledgeable, effective, confident, technically proficient, and successful in their current or future employment as well as to provide a base of courses for transfer to baccalaureate degree programs in business. (Adopted 12/01/06)
The Discipline approved two specialty mission statements for Accounting and Paralegal Studies, but felt the Discipline Mission Statement above was sufficient for all other subject areas.
Accounting: Primary missions of the Accounting Discipline are to offer academic and vocational education at the lower division level for both recent high school graduates and those returning to school. Another primary mission is to advance California's economic growth and global competitiveness through education, training, and services that contribute to continuous workforce improvement. Essential and important functions of the Accounting Discipline include: basic skills instruction and providing support services that help students to succeed.1
Paralegal Studies: The mission of the Legal Assisting discipline is to provide a core of diverse competencies academic in nature, which will provide practical, analytical, organizational, and professional skills, that will facilitate our graduates transition and preparation to competently perform a significant role in the delivery of legal services. Recognizing the need to improve and increase access to the legal system, students graduating from our program are educated in both substantive and procedural aspects of the law, of which foster their capabilities to perform services that meet the needs of the legal environment.1
The Business Discipline course offerings, certificates, and degree patterns are consistent with the Riverside Community College District, Riverside City College, Moreno Valley College, and Norco College Mission Statements:
District Mission Statement
The District’s mission statement includes a commitment to provide “transfer programs paralleling the first two years of university offerings, pre-professional, career preparation, and occupational and technical programs leading to the associate of arts degree, the associate of science degree, and a variety of certificates.2”
1 Adopted 12/01/06. by the Business Discipline 2 Riverside Community College District Mission Statement, approved by the Board of Trustees, June, 2006

outcomes”…. It also “fosters the development of technological programs to meet the needs of the growing business community.” 8
The Norco campus offers transfer courses for Bachelor’s degrees in business, the core courses for the Business Administration Certificate, the courses required for the concentrations in Accounting, General Business, Human Resource Management, Logistics Management, Management, Marketing and Real Estate and Certificates in Business Administration and Logistics Management.
The Banking and Finance and Insurance programs will be implemented at this campus. The development of the Logistics Management concentration in Business and the
Logistics Management Certificate was in response to area warehousing and distribution centers and businesses expressed needs. Norco Faculty also developed the Banking and Finance Certificate in response to regional requests from the Banking and Finance Industry.
Riverside City College Mission Statement
The Riverside City College’s mission statement indicates that the City College “empowers a diverse community of learners toward individual achievement, success and lifelong learning by providing comprehensive services and innovative educational opportunities”9

PROGRAM REVIEW NARRATIVE Page 12 BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION2006 DISCIPLINE
WHERE ARE WE NOW? (continued)Programs & Curriculum (continued)
The discipline faculty meets regularly to discuss and update course offerings and curricular patterns. Nearly all Course Outlines of Record for the discipline were updated during the Fall 2006. A handful are still being updated as of this writing See APPENDIX B for the discipline meeting minutes to date.
Current StatusThe discipline has developed student learning outcomes for each course and for each certificate, concentration and degree pattern and has updated the Course Outlines of Records (CORs) to reflect this as well as current format and content requirements. APPENDIX C contains curriculum-related documents.
Student Outcomes & Assessment
The Discipline reviewed its outcomes in two ways: Statistical Data Analysis and by assessment of the student learning outcomes of a specific course, Business 10.
Statistical Analysis of Data
Dr. Ron Pardee prepared a statistical Data Analysis of the raw data relating to enrollments and program completion in Business and Accounting, 2001 - 2005. This report was used the Discipline to assess a variety of factors. The summary report of this analysis is APPENDIX D.
During the opening day discipline meeting of fall 2006, the discipline reviewed and discussed process behavior charts in an attempt to evaluate the system performance of the business discipline across all three campuses and all major courses.
Knowing what average performance (statistically known as ‘expected performance’) was over the 2001 – 2005 period, we compared all other data to those “expected” values. Statistical Significance was chosen to be at the .01 level. That means that any performance was considered not statistically significant unless it was either above or below the 99.73% level. This can be seen in the attached Process Behavior Charts (Appendix D) as the upper and lower control limits of the data studied. Each chart set had specific discussion questions attached and the discipline faculty openly discussed why the performance differed from the expected performance.
The discussion of the thirty statistical charts created focused on the very preliminary view of “what do you see in the data” and “what could have caused the results seen”. The actual discussion questions for each of the thirty points of analysis are listed below the graph of the data in question. All of the data was fall to fall comparisons. There was even some discussion of “points of interest” even if some of those points were not statistically significant. The level of significance used was at the .01 level, meaning that the data needed to be at three standard deviations away from average to constitute ‘significance’.
We saw that enrollment was the highest in 2003 but was not statistically significantly different from the overall average. There was also no statistically significant points when we looked at the students who earned valid grades. The overall percentage of students with valid grades gave us a point of comparison for each program area.
WHERE ARE WE NOW? (continued)Student Outcomes & Assessment (continued)
Statistical Data Analysis (continued)
The discipline discussed what might cause the percentage of valid grades to be lower than average for Accounting 1A but higher than average for 1B. The general consensus was the poor preparation for entry into 1A and the “survivor” factor as the cause of higher than expected rate for Accounting 1B. Business 18A & 18B both had a higher than expected percentage of valid grades. While there was extensive discussion, the discipline did not formulate any hypothesis. It was decided that further discussion and deeper investigation would benefit our understanding. No action was taken.
When comparing the ethnicity of students, African American students obtained valid grades at a significantly lower level that should be expected. Asian students had a higher than expected percentage. No other grouping showed significance, including gender. While the data was not surprising, we were unable to come to a point where we might take action. We did discuss the fact that this data supported the need for such projects as UJIMA and the Learning Community project.
Since there was a significantly higher percentage of students with ed goals of AA or BA, the discipline has been actively trying to get all of our students to declare their major and establish an Ed. Plan to complete their AS degree.
These were the only actions taken after discussion. Further study would be appropriate, but the resources necessary to make full (and continued) use of this data are not available to the discipline.
Assessment of Selected Course: Business 10
The Business Administration Discipline has made significant progress in assessing mastery of Student Learning Outcomes (SLO’s) for its introductory, or gateway, courses.
Prior to the start of the Spring, 2006 semester an assessment was created for Business 10, Introduction to Business. The assessment consisted of ten multiple choice questions, all of which related directly to the Student Learning Objectives contained in the Course Outline of Record. The assessment was administered during the first two weeks of the semester by instructors teaching Business 10 to establish a baseline level of knowledge of concepts described on the Student Learning Objectives. The same assessment was given during the last week of the semester to measure the extent to which student mastery of the SLO concepts was achieved. The results were aggregated and tabulated over the Summer of 2006.
APPENDIX E displays pre-semester and post-semester percentages of correct answers for each question, indicates significant improvement in student knowledge and understanding of the SLO’s. This document was presented to the Business Administration Discipline on August 24, 2006 at its first meeting of the 2006-2007 academic year as indicated in the attached minutes for that meeting. The Discipline engaged in a lengthy and productive discussion for the purpose of analyzing the results and determining methodologies for improvement (also detailed in the attached minutes).
WHERE ARE WE NOW? (continued)Student Outcomes & Assessment (continued)
Assessment of Selected Course (continued)
A plan was developed during the August 24 Business Administration Discipline meeting to extend SLO assessments to other introductory, or gateway classes beyond Business 10. It was agreed that assessments would be created and administered for Accounting 1A- Principles of Accounting I, Marketing 20- Principles of Marketing, Management 44- Principles of Management, and Business 18A, Business Law I, during the Fall, 2006 semester. APPENDIX F presents the Assessment instruments being used for these assessments.
It was further agreed that an assessment would be created and administered for Real Estate 80, Real Estate Principles during the Spring, 2007 semester.
Assessments for MKT 20, MAG 44 and BUS 18A were created and administered during the first two weeks of the Fall, 2006 semester. In addition, the pre-semester SLO assessment used in Spring, 2006 for BUS 10 was administered to Fall, 2006 BUS 10 classes as well. The results from those assessments are being collected and tabulated. The same assessments will be given during the last week of classes for BUS 10 as well as the three classes listed above and reports will be generated detailing the results of the pre-semester and post-semester assessments. These results will be discussed and analyzed at the first Business Administration Discipline meeting of the Spring, 2007 semester. That meeting is scheduled for February 9, 2007.
With the creation and administration of the assessment for Real Estate 80 in the Spring, 2007 semester, the Business Administration Discipline will have SLO assessment vehicles and procedures in place for all of its introductory courses.
Student Assessment Plan 2006-2010
The discipline adopted the following Student Assessment Plan.13

WHERE ARE WE NOW? (continued)Student Outcomes & Assessment (continued)
Student Assessment Plan 2006-2010 (continued)
Each course will have a pre-test and post test developed by subject area faculty and reviewed by discipline.
The pre-test should be administered preferably by the end of the first week of the term but not later than the second week of the term.
The post test should be administered as close to the final exam session as possible or administered at the same time as the final.
This could be modified as schedules / course offerings require. In some discipline subject areas, with the majority of course offerings in a given
range, this schedule could be accelerated (i.e. doing one half of them a round earlier)
Collaboration with Other Units
The discipline communicates with other units as needed. A recent example was the collaboration with the Philosophy Discipline during the Fall of 2006 regarding their proposed offering and its potential or perceived conflict with a course offered through the Business Discipline. The outcome of the collaboration resulted in a revised course and course title for the Business Discipline offering and revisions to the proposed Philosophy offering.
The locally approved certificate in International Business was a collaborative effort between the Business Discipline, Foreign Languages and Political Science.
There are also collaborative efforts to establish student cohorts to improve student success in the CAP program. This involves cooperative scheduling and coordinated content with reading, math, business, and other subject areas.
The UJIMA initiative is also a collaborative program intended to increase the success rate African-American students in Business and related disciplines. This collaboration involves student services as well.
Accounting and Computer Applied Technologies collaborated on streamlining two (CAT 63 and ACC 50) courses to make them into one cross-listed course (CAT 55/ ACC 55)
We have had some collaboration with High Schools regarding articulation in Accounting for Accounting 55. The discipline consensus was that articulation with the high schools was limited.
Recent collaboration with other colleges/universities includes plans to streamline RCC Business graduates into La Sierra University’s MBA program, with an MBA achievable within 3 years of starting their program. This is scheduled to start up in the Fall 2007.
In the 2006, faculty met with CSUSB faculty in the Masters of Public Administration to build understanding and build options for better articulation.
Articulation with American Public University for Logistics majors was initiated in the fall of 2006.
WHERE ARE WE NOW? (continued)
Outreach
The discipline accomplishes outreach to students, business, and the community through general information and through faculty member activities.
General
Most outreach is coordinated through the outreach offices and counseling with the high schools and various recruitment activities. The discipline has provided current information for slide presentations and other handouts as needed. The Paralegal Program throughout the year participates in several High School Career Day Fairs at schools within our District.
The District Web site, schedules of classes and annual catalogues remain the primary tools for student outreach and recruitment.
SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise): Established on the Norco campus in Spring 2004, SIFE is active on more than 1,500 college and university campuses in 37 countries. . The concept is simple- working as teams, SIFE students design educational outreach projects that help individuals in their communities develop a better understanding of the principles of free enterprise and how to use this information to empower themselves and achieve their dreams.
VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program)Established by the Internal Revenue Service. Active on the Norco campus 2001- 2004Coordinated a VITA tax site on campus in conjunction with the IRS and the Franchise Tax Board. The VITA site gives students the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in a hands-on environment by having them prepare basic income tax returns on a voluntary basis.

The event is open to ALL students and community members. Each year, there is a diversified panel of speakers that address different topics like: Successful techniques to securing a job in the legal field; Utilization of Paralegals in the field; information on current trends in the legal profession; a speaker’s experience of being a legal professional and what they do; How to set yourself apart, land a job; Law and our Community, what’s it’s like working in the courts; how to get an Internship at the courts; the importance of belonging to Paralegal and other important associations for networking and information; student financial aid information, and any other type of "outreach" information for a current or prospective Paralegal Student.
Resources
The Business Discipline identified relevant resources as technology, facilities, and faculty. Funding was not addressed per se, except when grant funding resources were utilized, since the funding to the district and its allocation to the discipline dependent on State funding levels and the new campus-based budgeting / allocation model.
WHERE ARE WE NOW? (continued)Resources (continued)
Moreno Valley
Technology : Thanks to the leadership of José Durán, Associate Professor, Business and his grant writing and VTEA funding, the Moreno Valley Campus has acquired current technology to use in the classrooms including two portable lap-top lab labs allowing online and in-class computer work to apply class concepts and a PC/tablet lab. This has allowed for innovative teaching and technical currency in the courses taught at that campus. Furthermore, students have access to computer technology at the Bus/CIS computer lab as well as at the library. Wireless Internet is available campus-wide to all students with personal lap-tops.
Facilities: The entire Moreno Valley Campus is impacted by more students than available classrooms especially during the evenings and peak daytime class periods. While the Discipline has addressed this by aggressively offering hybrid and online classes, the traditional learning environment on face-to-face classes has been severely short-changed and students seeking this learning environment are not getting the class offerings suited to their needs / desires.
Full Time Faculty: Due to prior retirements, at this writing, there are only 2 ½ full time Business Discipline faculty members (Durán, Honoré, Webster). One is split between CIS and Business, another teaches Business, Management and Marketing, and the third teaches only Accounting. This is not adequate for necessary offerings of Business Law, Real Estate, and the full array of the Business, Management, and Marketing classes, even with the capable support of adjunct faculty. One faculty member is planning to retire at the end of 2006-2007 or mid-year 2007-08, which will leave the campus discipline severely short-handed. Additional faculty members with the ability to teach two or more subjects within the discipline are needed for the discipline in Moreno Valley to provide for the discipline’s range of offerings and certificates.
Norco
Technology : The Norco campus has two portable lap-top carts, one with Apples and one with PC’s, allowing for computer technology to be integrated into classroom instruction.
Additionally, students have access to computer technology at the Bus/CIS computer lab as well as at the library. Wireless Internet is available campus-wide to all students with personal lap-tops.
Facilities : The Norco Campus, while larger than the Moreno Valley Campus, is nevertheless impacted by more students than available classrooms especially during the evenings and peak daytime class periods. The Department has addressed this by aggressively offering online classes and some hybrid classes. To address this, face-to-face classes are being offered at community facilites including the Fender Museum, Norco High School, and JFK High School. Nevetheless, these are temporary solutions.
Full Time Faculty: At this writing, Norco has 4 full time Business Discipline faculty members (Beck, Wagner, Worsham, Zwart) One teaches Business, Management and Marketing, one, who was hired for Business, primarily teaches Accounting, the third teaches
WHERE ARE WE NOW? (continued)
Resources (continued)
Norco (continued)
Business with a special focus on Logistics courses, the fourth teaches Business Law and Real Estate. While this gives pretty good coverage, with the capable support of adjunct faculty, for the basic range offerings, an Accounting position is needed.
Riverside
Technology : Students have access to computer technology at the Bus/CIS computer lab as well as at the library. Wireless Internet is available campus-wide to all students with personal lap-tops. There is also one portable computer lab-top classroom allowing for in-class application of concepts on computers.
Facilities : The Riverside Campus has a designated Business Administration Building which it shares with Computer Information Systems and Computer Applied Technology. However, classes are offered at all campus buildings and the current building is not sufficient to house all campus-based business faculty. Some have offices in other locations making day-to-day informal collaborations and problem solving less frequent. While the Riverside Campus has recently added classrooms though construction and temporary buildings, it still remains impacted by more students than available classrooms especially during the evenings and peak daytime class periods. The Department has addressed this by offering more hybrid classes and some online classes. The discipline faculty on this campus have, however, staunchly asserted and continued to offer a strong array of face-to-face classes as facilities allow.
Full Time Faculty: At this writing, Riverside has 7 full time Business Discipline faculty members (Chaks, Judon, Ishihara, Pardee, Stearns, Wilcoxson, and Wyckoff). Two teach Accounting only, another Business Law and Paralegal Studies, and the rest a combination of Business, Management and Marketing. The person hired for Business Law has been spread to cover Paralegal following the vacancy following a separation and that slot has never been filled. While this gives pretty good coverage, with the capable support of adjunct faculty, for the basic range offerings, a Paralegal position is needed.
Inter-Campus Resource
Full Time Faculty: The Real Estate program is offered on all three campus with multiple courses for initial entry into the field and for further professional development. The program has no designated faculty member background to provide subject-area leadership and the discipline determined that this must be addressed to provide the program leadership, a liaison with the industry, and a knowledgeable person to assure the program is current and responsive to industry trends and changes. The discipline felt that a Real Estate faculty member assigned to one campus, most likely Riverside, could provide leadership and coordination for courses at the other two campuses.
Other Comments
The discipline has worked cooperatively across the campuses to coordinate online offerings and plan those offerings so that they are balanced, do not undercut each other or traditional classes. The Discipline Matrix for this has been effective, although not perfect, and has served as a model by Open Campus.
WHERE ARE WE NOW? (continued)Other Comments (continued)
This kind of collaboration and cooperation is occasionally undermined, however, by campus-focused and campus-based leadership directives to grow or expand regardless of the impact on the discipline’s collaborative planning.
Overall Assessment of Discipline
On the positive side, despite being understaffed, we have created and added five new areas of concentration in the past five years. We consider this a significant accomplishment.
We offer a broad array of instructional formats, Traditional, Web-Assisted, Hybrid, and Online courses in most of the subject areas within the discipline.
We rely heavily on adjunct faculty to deliver the majority of our course offerings.
On the more frustrating side, the discipline struggles with acting as a whole. There is no assigned support staff member to be the repository for discipline records, to facilitate advisory meetings, etc. While individual faculty members attempt to do this, some more than others, the discontinuity between discipline tasks and priorities and actual teaching and campus-based committee work or department work results in lost documents, incomplete processes, etc.
Overall, while we are not always united or coordinated in our efforts, we have strong and dedicated full time and adjunct faculty who deliver a comprehensive curriculum.
Insights Gained
Through this program review process we have learned a few things and indeed, we do see ourselves differently.
The discipline size and scope is unwieldy although the subject areas and foci are linked.
Staffing on all three campuses is inadequate to provide for subject area leadership and the full range of offerings at each campus.
Some of the full-time faculty were hired for one field responsibilities, but have had to “temporarily” fill in for other fields due to separations or retirements or other adjustments of assignments. The “temporary” nature of the assignments has been remained quasi-permanent, thereby diluting subject area leadership and resources and unfairly overloading some faculty members.
While we are expected to function as a cross-campus/college discipline, there is no designated clerical or specialist position to provide support for and facilitate the Discipline’s functioning and needs for data collection and analysis, outreach support, and central recording and maintenance of discipline records. The IDS positions are focused exclusively on campus/college priorities. There is district-wide specialty support for data generation, etc.
WHERE ARE WE NOW? (continued)
Insights Gained (continued)
Because of the very broad scope of the discipline and its offerings, some faculty felt the business and discussion did not relate directly to their concerns and priorities. As a result of this, the Accounting subject area will be breaking off into a separate discipline during after the Spring 2007 semester. Other subject areas, while good candidates for breaking off, elected to remain as part of the Business Discipline.
We learned from the banking industry that they are cutting back on training and want to shift their training resources into the outlying community. We therefore, have been presented with a unique training niche and have aggressively pursued this window of opportunity. In essence, we have learned that the banking industry needs are more than what we had understood them to be.
Through our outreach to executives in the industry, we discovered a growing need for qualified candidates in insurance and financial services. We learned that employers in this industry were having difficulty identifying employment candidates with appropriate backgrounds in and knowledge of insurance products and insurance company operations. This observation was confirmed by both local and statewide employment surveys. We responded to these needs by developing a degree and certificate program in insurance. This program is in the final stage of local approval prior to being submitted for State approval.
We have witnessed an enrollment conflict between our online course offerings and our on-ground offerings. We are just now starting to understand this phenomenon and are quickly reacting to the increased demands of the online student population.
We have a high reliance on adjunct faculty, as is typical across the district, to deliver our range of offerings. However, we do not have much adjunct faculty involvement in the workings of the discipline.
The Discipline supports online instruction but that traditional classroom instruction remains the best educational method and should be kept viable and attractive to our students. All the subject areas in the discipline involve team and real-people interactions and classrooms and face-to-face instruction is important in preparing students for these business environments. At the same time, student demand requires that we focus on providing the best online offerings possible.
From the Statistical Analysis, we identified that African American students obtained valid grades at a significantly lower level that should be expected. Asian students had a higher than expected percentage. No other grouping showed significance, including gender. While the data was not surprising, we were unable to come to a point where we might take action.
The overall results of the discussion regarding the statistical analysis was that there were no significant findings from most of the data reviewed. The seven areas that did indicate significance were discussed and action agendas were developed for two of the areas. The area selected to take action first was to encourage students to complete AA & AS degrees and establish Ed Plans which detail their own graduation requirements.
WHERE ARE WE NOW? (continued)Insights Gained (continued)
The data also clearly supported the need to provide additional services for African American students if we expect them to have valid grades at the same level as the average student.
The discipline does not have Administration/ Management level support of the program. While a Business Dean was hired in 2005. While the title has remained, the focus of the position has directed elsewhere and it has not been functional in its purpose for the Riverside or other campus Business leadership. This will not allow for ACSB accreditation.
As a response to the growth opportunity in the international business arena, the Business Discipline has developed a Locally-Approved Certificate for International Business and are in the process of having it been approved.
The State of California, Employment Development Department has projected the annual employment of international business related positions to increase by 23% in five years. Currently, the average annual salary of an individual in an international business related position with moderate-term on the job training is $25.79 an hour. Individuals with four-year degrees have an average annual wage of $33.23 an hour.
The 2-year and 4-year colleges in the San Bernardino-Inland Empire area do not offer International Business certificates or majors. The closest discipline that are offered are International Relations and Business Administration with a course in International Business.
The Discipline believes that offering International Business Certificate at Riverside Community College District adds a distinctive competitive advantage to the college

Environmental Scan
According to the State of California Economic Development Department job forecast between 2002 and 2012 Riverside County will add 320,000 new jobs from industry growth and 263,000 job openings from replacements for a total of 581,000 jobs available. Currently Riverside County has a labor force of 861,100 with a 5% rate of unemployment.
According to Occupational Projections for the County of Riverside jobs in the Business, Marketing and Management areas will increase at a rate of approximately 24% between 2002 and 2012. A list of the projected growth is included in the Appendix. Areas with the most growth include retail sales, customer service representatives, accounting, bookkeeping and auditing clerks, sales representatives, general and operations managers , first line supervisors (in hospitality, production and operations, office management) , counter and retail clerks, and office managers.
In addition the State of California Economic Development Department projects that the fastest growing occupations will include jobs such as: loan officers, employment, recruitment and placement specialists, sales managers, management analysts, sales representatives, First-Line Supervisors/Managers of Non-Retail Sales Workers, and Postsecondary Business Teachers.WHERE ARE WE NOW?

Overall the outlook for career relating to Business, Management and Marketing look bright for the future. 14
Information for some of the Business Discipline Specialty areas follow:
AccountingThe Riverside-San Bernardino Metropolitan labor market shows currently 4780 job openings in the entry level positions for bookkeeper and accounting clerks with the median hourly wage of $15.68 generally there is no minimum degree requirement as these are entry level positions and on the job training (OJT) is typical. The projected job market for this type of position in this area is an increase of 22.9%. It is important to keep in mind that usually advancement will require additional education in the introductory / fundamental accounting classes.
The next level of job openings does require a BA/BS degree. The projected job market for this type of position in this area is an increase of 36.9%. This projected increase in job openings / employment will result in a significant increase in enrollment of students in the accounting discipline during the next decade.
Banking & Finance Our advisory committee and outreach efforts have determined that the banking industry is reducing its training programs in part because our courses can provide more effective education. As a result we are creating a mini-certificate program to prepare potential bank employees for entry-level positions and a business concentration to prepare existing employees for promotion. As of this writing these programs have been approved by all levels of the district except curriculum which is reviewing both programs this month (February 2007).
Insurance
Through our outreach to executives in the industry, as well as industries studies we discovered a significant and growing need for qualified candidates in insurance and financial services. We learned that employers in this industry were having difficulty identifying employment candidates with appropriate backgrounds in and knowledge of insurance products and insurance company operations. This observation was confirmed by both local and statewide employment surveys. We responded to these needs by developing a degree and certificate program in insurance. This program is in the final stage of local approval prior to being submitted for State approval.
The study that was most important, extensive and specific to the Inland Empire was conducted by Global Research, Inc. for the Centers of Excellence, hosted by Rancho Santiago Community College District and the San Bernardino Community College District in June, 2006. The survey included responses from 130 firms in the Los Angeles and Orange Counties and the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino Counties).

WHERE DO WE WANT TO BE? (continued)Environmental Scan (continued)
Insurance (continued)
Key findings from that study include:
1) Expected industry growth in the areas covered by the survey is projected to be nearly 17% over the next 10 years. Statewide growth in the industry was projected to be 1.35% per year, but the three geographic areas (including the Inland Empire) was projected to be 4.2% per year.
2) 54% of companies reported having difficulty recruiting candidates with corss-disciplinary skills.
3) 69% of companies in the Inland Empire reported using employer paid outside training for their new employees.
4) Between 60% and 72% of employers expressed interest in workforce development programs that could be developed by local community colleges.
5) Between 60% and 71%Employers reported that they had “some” or “great” difficulty in finding qualified candidates for positions such as claims adjusters, examiners, investigators, and insurance underwriters.
6) Employers in the Inland Empire indicated the greatest difficulty recruiting non-entry level employees with adequate skills and experience but also had close to 50% of employers indicate at least some difficulty recruiting individuals with cross disciplinary skills required by the industry. Inland Empire employees were most interested in partnering with the community colleges on a cross disciplinary, two-year associate’s degree program such as the one we have developed at RCC.
We feel that the projected industry growth, demand for training and educational programs by employers, and their willingness to partner with us will assure the success of the new Insurance Program we have developed.
LogisticsIn 2004 the California Employment Development Department found that the Logistics sector’s average 2003 Inland Empire pay was $37,161 above either manufacturing ($36,704) or construction ($35,373). The Inland Empire Logistics Industry stands to gain as many as 1,000,000 new jobs from now to 2030. (Dr. John Husing, Business Press, September, 2005, International Trade, Blue Collar Workers & The Inland Empire's Future).
Logistics has been a strong growth industry in the Inland Empire for many years. A continuation of this vigorous growth pattern can be expected due to expansion of international trade, our west coast location, proximity to deep water ports in LA/Long Beach, lower land and labor costs compared to coastal counties, and the fact that retailers can save 18-20% of inventory cost by managing goods from Southern California instead

of Asia (Dr. John Husing, October 19, 2006 presentation: I-215 South Corridor). The RCC Logistics Management Program hosts both an industry advisory committee and focus groups to track and respond to trends. Expansion of the Logistics Management Program to accommodate future industry demands appears to be practical without significant resources beyond instructor time and room space.
Paralegal
Paralegals also typically work for or with: Lawyers, Judges, Government employers, Law Clerks, Public Interest Agencies, Title Companies, Real Estate companies, and Courts.
Per America’s Career InfoNet: Occupational profile and the California Employment Development Department, Labor Market information, 2007 , the state and national trends for Paralegals is as such: There is a projected percentage change of 29% of growth for paralegals between 2004-2014, and a 28.5% change in growth for paralegals in California, with a projected employment of 32,900 paralegals in California. There is also a projected amount of 940 “annual job openings,” between this time as well. As the demand and need for more affordable legal services arises, so will the need for paralegal professionals. In addition, more and more complex cases arrive at the court steps, thereby requiring additional legal professional to help support the overwhelmed courts calendar.
Almost any business organization has some form of a legal department or division whereby they utilize legal professionals; in some capacity or another. However, the employers of paralegals are predominantly law firms government agencies. There are a vast amount of jobs available for paralegals with the federal government.
A major employer in Riverside County/Inland Empire of paralegals is law firms and local government agencies. There are at least 40,935 “Offices of Lawyers” in California, and at least 121 in Riverside County alone. The Riverside District Attorney and Public Defender’s Office are also employers of paralegals. The Riverside Superior Court also hires legal professionals by a related occupation title of “clerk.”

Internal Review
Moreno Valley
We need to be offering logistics and expanding our offerings in Management. We do not currently have the classroom or faculty resources (both full time and adjunct) to offer the full range of discipline courses and certificate patterns. Some of this is contingent on new faculty.
.WHERE DO WE WANT TO BE? (continued)
Internal Review (continued)
Moreno Valley (continued)
We need to address the weakness in daytime enrollment and offerings
The dependence on online and hybrid offerings to address the lack of classrooms available during peak evening and daytime hours has led to low retention.
Overall retention is low.
Norco
We need improved articulation, effective advisory counsels, and increased informational seminars for students and the community in order to have closer coordination with the business community. We need to continue to build programs and projects with the JFK Middle College High School.
We need more technology and classroom space. It would be hugely beneficial if the district could make videoconferencing more accessible particularly with the growth of the outlying campuses and populations.
With regard to classroom space, we have seen a 60% growth in evening classes. We
have tried to work around this constraint by adding classes with creative day and time offerings. But, ultimately we are still unable to meet the time/day demands of our student population. We need more on-campus classroom space in order to meet the growing population demands of each campus.
We need to improve our collaborative relationship between the counseling department and business faculty to enhance the understanding of the business course concentrations and transfer needs. We also need to establish a class rotation schedule for each of the business administration concentration/certificate classes to ensure that the classes are offered in a two-year period. This includes daytime, evening and weekend classes.
An additional goal is to establish a comprehensive online business concentration certificate. Lastly, we would like to improve the process for recruiting and retaining quality tutors to support business course offerings.
Riverside City
The Riverside faculty initiated the professional business school accreditation (ACBSP) self-study but were unable to complete the process. This is still a desire, but will require administrative and clerical support that does not currently exist.
The lack of full-time faculty leadership in Paralegal & Real Estate limit the ability to build either of these programs without diluting existing offerings.
The discipline at the Riverside campus currently operates within the Business & CIS department with Department Co-Chairs. Business used to be an independent department and needs to return to that format as its own department and Chair.
WHERE DO WE WANT TO BE? (continued)Internal Review (continued)
Riverside (continued)
Outreach is an important component for us to reach the growth potential seen in the business community. We would like to create an outreach effort which would enable the community and employers to better access current and future offerings. With an outreach coordinator we would also improve our understanding of business needs and ability to respond to those needs.
There is no computerized classroom dedicated for Business, Marketing, Management & Paralegal offerings. We need a dedicated computerized classroom so we can offer our courses at the necessary times.
The entrepreneurship program was cancelled by the state chancellor’s office and it needs to be re-authored and offered within the next two years.
Revised Vision / Summary
This program review has not resulted in a revised vision since it is the first one we have done. It has helped us focus on is:
What we are as a discipline and our mission The issues of being united as a discipline as we separate into colleges The need for faculty in selected areas. Evaluating student learning outcomes Updating Course Outlines of Record
The discipline will continue to work collaboratively across the campuses, with other disciplines as needed, and, most of all, will work to fulfill its mission statement.
The process of program review has generated strong and frank discussion, built bridges of collaboration, and focused our discipline meetings to specific tasks and deliberations.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO GET THERE?
Planning The discipline needs to continue planning and coordinating the scheduling of classes,
both on-ground and on-line. The discipline has devised plans through its newly adopted standardized agenda to assess
and address discipline planning issues.The discipline supports online instruction but that traditional classroom instruction remains the best educational method and should be kept viable and attractive to our students. It cannot be replaced by nor should it be supplanted by the cyber-learning. Thus the District and each College needs to continue to forcefully engage in long-range planning to address student population growth, addressing needs and physical instructional facilities expansion.
The Campus/College leadership and the District leadership needs to utilize the finding of this report in its planning for adequate staffing.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO GET THERE? (continued)
Resources
The key resources needed are full-time faculty members to provide for teaching and leadership in the full array of the discipline’s offerings.
Moreno Valley
The key resources needed at the Moreno Valley Campus are faculty. By the end of 2007 or mid-year 2007, the discipline will only have 1 ½ faculty members left. One of those teaches accounting, and the partial teaches business (and CIS for th the other. 1 Business / Management or Business /Marketing 1 Real Estate / Business / Marketing position 1 Business Law / Business positionThis would bring the staffing levels up to a level to allow full offerings in response to demand.
Norco
We anticipate a 50% increase in full-time faculty over four years as follows: Accounting- 1 full-time Business Administration- 1 full-time
Other staffing needs are: Outreach coordinator. This would be a full-time faculty member reassigned with .65
FTE to focus on recruitment, meeting advisory committees, new articulations and upgrades, placement, advising, marketing and advertising for all occupational areas on the Norco Campus.
A full-time secretary to support the outreach coordinator and IDS.
Riverside
In order for the business program at the Riverside campus to reach the vision / goals identified in this program review we need the following resources.
Independent status of the Business department with appropriate release time and stipend for a Department Chair and control over it’s own budget.
One full-time faculty member (replacement position) in Paralegal program to take the professional lead in developing the program as well as gain ABA approval.
One full-time faculty member in Real Estate to take the professional lead in developing the program as well as obtaining approval from the state DRL of our course offerings.
One full-time (at least permanent part –time) clerk position to support the IDS (which is currently shared with CIS & CAT).
WHAT DO WE NEED TO GET THERE? (continued)Resources (continued)
Riverside (continued)
Dedicated departmental budget to pay for annual software license renewals (currently being paid for with VTEA funds) this is currently at about $6,000.00 - $7,500.00 per year.
One dedicated computerized classroom. This is not a lab, but a classroom where we can directly teach computer utilization with the software unique to business courses, as well as teaching students how to integrate computer use into business application.
Inter-Campus
In order to full address changing needs and technologies in the many subject areas within the discipline and reach the visions and goals identified in the program review, we need the following:
A functional Dean of Business to serve the discipline district-wide to o champion Association of Collegial Schools and Business Programs (ACSBP)
accreditation for all campuses;o provide leadership in program improvements, program development, and
program marketingo Develop and administer special funding /granto Serve as a nexus for discipline collaboration as well as a resourceo Serve as a member of the management team to advocate for the discipline and the
programs and for appropriate resource allocation in the budgeting process. A Real Estate program coordinator / faculty member who could be based at Riverside but
who would serve the discipline’s Real Estate program across all campuses.
EVIDENCE WE NEED TO TRACK PROGRESS
Documentation
The Discipline maintains a web-site for discipline discussion on various issues and for depositing document for review.
The discipline meeting minutes and Assessment reports will serve as documentation of progress made. Additionally annual Program Review.
Assessment
Assessment reports for each class assessed will be used to document that the assessments were done along with the assessment instruments.
The discipline meeting minutes and Web-CT site will have evidence of the assessments.
HOW CAN WE IMPROVE THE DISCIPLINE SELF-STUDY PROCESS?
The new direction to separate the Assessments from the major self-study will help!
This Discipline has so many related-but-separate subject areas that it has been difficult to get a handle on meaningfully dealing with them all in the program review process. The annual program review update, which now breaks down the subject areas into discrete reports, will help address this.
We found the process to be good in that it focused the discipline on tasks to look at itself critically, but overall, found it to be cumbersome. This has a significant impact on faculty workload. The Business discipline would like to see it further stream-lined.
SUMMARY OF GOALS, ACTIVITIES & FINDINGS
The Business Discipline established goals and methodologies to: Conduct Student Learning Assessments every semester to assess all gateway courses and
eventually more advanced courses. Continuously review and update the Course Outlines of Record
The Business discipline has and will continue meeting regularly, both electronically and in teleconferenced and face-to-face meetings to:
Collaboratively discuss course offering and offerings patterns Improve instruction and or course design based on assessment feedback Continuously improve and update our offerings for technical currency,
employer/employee relevancy, and for transfer.
The Business discipline findings are summarized as follows: The Accounting subject area will break off into its own discipline. The cross-campus coordination of online offerings is effective overall. There is a concern about the balance of online and traditional classes. The discipline will continue to evaluate statistical data to assess changes and evaluate
possible changes.

Welcome & Introductions Ron Pardee welcomed the discipline members and especially the two new members of the discipline, Chie Ishihjara and Charles Wycoff.
Articulation Agreements Cal State San Bernardino wants to have a meeting with us together with their Dean of
Business and their Department Chairs. They have committed to providing a $2,500 scholarship to as many business students as they can. This is a privately funded scholarship pool. They want to improve articulation and the number of students. The meeting is scheduled for October 5 from 11:30 to 1:30 at CSUSB.
Pending Requests: Accounting 55 was given to Julie Pehkonen with approval for Rancho Verde and a “fix it” request for Canyon Springs. Cheryl Honoré has not heard further from Julie or the high schools.
Articulation Day: October 14th is tentatively set for HS-RCC articulation day and all faculty who are interested in have courses articulated are invited and encouraged to attend.
Visions of the New Dean, Business, Information Systems & Economic Development: Dr. John Tillquist, Dean
Dr Tillquist introduced himself and discussed the meeting with and goals of the Cal State University San Bernardino Business program. One out of four CSUSB Business students are RCC transfers. He distributed a memo regarding the 10/5/05 meeting inviting participation.
Curriculum Review: We need to review all the curriculum and incorporate Student Outcomes our course outlines, as well as make sure they meet district standards.
We plan to seek accreditation as a business program through the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), first at the Riverside Campus, then later at the MV and Norco Campuses.
Dr. Tillquist also discussed the nature of our students types… standard business student, life long learner, focused skill-builder, etc. and the possibilities of providing imaginative programs, certificates, workshops, etc. to address their skills. Generally, this is adapting the existing coursework and curriculum in new and different ways to attract different and new students.
He is establishing a Dean’s Advisory Council made up of area business leaders to provide feedback and advice and provide some cross-collaboration and program incubation.
He discussed the possibilities capitalizing on the intellectual and professional resources in the business community and bringing more of them into the classroom as guest lecturers.

Appendix B
Appendix BVisions of the New Dean (Continued) He has an ad hoc innovation committee which will begin to meet monthly look at these issues,
where we want to be in five years, where we are now, what we can do and how we can get there. Ron Pardee, Ajené Wilcoxon, and Chip Hertzig are the ad hoc committee members.
The group had a discussion about the interfaces between traditional credit, hybrid, online, and community education. Also discussed were marketing issues, program innovations that have been successful, funded, defunded, ignored or supplanted or otherwise affected by the vagaries of leadership, budget, enrollment trends, etc.
The decision not to distribute the schedule of classes to all residents has had, the group felt, a disproportionately negative impact on vocational programs.
The Dean’s List: Dr. Tillquist will be establishing a Dean’s List of the top 25 students, inviting them to special meetings with banking, business, venture capitalist, and entrepreneur leaders. The group discussed the logistics of this.
Party! Dr. Tillquist will be having a party for all discipline full time faculty and their significant others on September 9th. Formal invitations will be going out this week.
Program Review Requirements Dr. Pardee reminded all that three years ago the college started on program review, with 1/3 of
the programs to go through program review. This is the third year so we are on the schedule, although no formal notice is going out, and we should be prepared and start preparing.
A lot of it is the same stuff that has to be done for ACSB and for WASC.
Curriculum New Format: All new courses or all course revisions must fit the new format. Contact Linda
Grimm or Chip Hertzig (Norco) for the new format. Course Revisions Pending: An “official” list of the courses pending, requiring a current
review/update/revision distributed. Any new updates as well as new course offerings will need to be in this new format.
Diana Webster volunteered to undertake, as her contribution to the discipline, ACSB and WASC accreditation and in lieu of physically attending some of the discipline meetings. The discipline agreed to this by consensus with appreciation
of the enormous workload involved. Diana will be virtually or telephonically available or present for all meetings.
Business 90: International Logistics originated by Rex BeckMike Chaks moved approval of Business 90, International Logistics. Seconded by Patty Worsham. Motion carried.
Equivalency Committee Senate Recommendations The equivalency process has changed and we need to have a year long discipline representative
from each campus who will be serving as the Senate-appointed representative. Gail Zwart agreed to serve as the Norco Campus, José Duran for Moreno Valley, and LaNeshia Judon for Riverside.
Scheduling of Online Course Offerings There was consensus for supporting Bus 20 online from the Norco Campus for the Spring
Semester. The group discussed the number of and scheduling of online and hybrid classes, their impact on
traditional classes, their use as enrollment builders for the campuses with no available classroom space and the quality of instruction.

ONLINE COURSE OFFERINGS PLAN
Diana Webster discussed the need to coordinate discipline online offerings at all the campuses and distributed a grid of the past year’s online classes for planning purposes for the Spring 2006 and future term planning.
The group discussed the possible impact on hybrid and traditional classes and had no consensus on whether online classes had an impact on physically-based classes.
The group discussed online course rotation, the different methods (7 week, 16 weeks, etc.) of offering them, the belief that the online market is a different market from traditional and hybrid courses, the pressure to grow and add classes without available facilities, and the need to have a large average class size. Additionally various members noted the demands and pressures from administration change from semester to semester and year to year.
The group did a plan for spring 06 online offerings by course and by campus. The discipline agreed that, while “shadow sections” could be added or preplanned by a given campus, these would not be activated until all sections of a given online class were filled, regardless of campus. “Shadow” classes would typically be set up to be 12-week classes. This would allow for growth, responsiveness to demand, and for appropriate distribution of online classes and related enrollment. By consensus, the Spring Online Course Offerings & Plan was adopted . The plan will
be attached to the minutes.
VATEA
Riverside submitted 4 plans, one was funded (lap top computers in Riverside). Additionally, the opportunity to submit plans for next year will be coming up in the Spring.
MV submitted a plan on simulation gaming start-up. It was approved by the committee, but not funded since it is not a state-approved program.
Norco has a VATEA-funded Apple cart and a Gateway cart and are trying to get maximum use. José Durán shared some of what he has learned at the MV campus.
Next year will work the same way, but it will need to be a new plan. VATEA is virtually the only source for innovation funding

Course Outline Updates (continued)
Motion (Beck/ Wilcoxson) to approve course outlines for Bus 10, Man 51, & Marketing 20 with the understanding that there may be minor format and minor editorial revisions to be made post approval. Motion carried unanimously.
BUS 10 – Student Learning Outcomes need to be revised to reflect higher level learning. Suggestions were made to revise the Student Learning Outcomes and Diana Webster will work with them. The “Topics” section was discussed with respect to whether it fulfilled the
requirement that Course Content be descriptive rather than a listing of topics. Suggestions were made for additional wording.
A discussion took place with respect to the simulations that are used by various instructors. There was general consensus that simulations add interest to the course and provide students with a hands-on learning opportunity.
Minor changes were suggested to the Methods of Instruction and Methods of Evaluation sections.
Motion (Wilcoxson / Ishihara) to approve the adoption of the BUS 10 course outline with the discussed amendments. Motion carried unanimously.
MAG 51 – An agreement was reached to substitute the revised “Short Description” for the present Course Description and write a new, abbreviated Short Course.

referencing problem. We could insert a page break at the end of the document stating the date of approval- just an extra page inserted at the end of the document with an approval log. Ron and Patty in favor of this method. Cheryl, proposed simplifying this method to simply put a note at the bottom of the course outline stating “approved discipline meeting 2/24/06).

xiv. Item 15: Inventory existing assessment efforts by Department and subject area.
1. As a discipline we have decided to start this process of developing assessments (pre-test/post-test) for each certificate pattern (concentration). We started with the Business 10 course and are refining our assessment tool.
2. Prior to Fall 2006 we will identify the gateway courses for each certificate pattern and will prepare assessments for the following concentrations: Logistics, Accounting, Real Estate, Paralegal, Management.
3. Some of these we can gradually implement them. For Fall 2006. These pretests need to be completed by May 19th (our last discipline meeting) in order to administer on the first day of class:
a. ACC 1A (Patty)b. MAG 44 (Gail)c. MKT 20 (Charlie)d. PAL 10 (or BUS 18a, LaNesha to decide)
(LaNesha)For Spring 2007:e. RLE 80 (Tom)f. Retail Management (Ron)
Data Collection: LaNesha asked where this data goes once we’ve collected the test results. We need to use this data to generate discussion among ourselves. We need to maintain this documentation, in hardcopy, in one place, for ourselves and accreditation. We can post our summary findings on the website.
Charlie suggestede that each subject has be assigned to a point person. The point person would then generate the exam and answer key, disseminate the exams, collect the exams and write a brief summary analysis of the results and bring the summary up for discussion at the next discipline meeting and record/summarize the results in a central location. Consensus agreement.
III. VTEA funding for 2006/2007a. If you want funding you need to attend the upcoming meeting.
Funds have been reallocated if they have not been used. Next meeting is scheduled for March 3.
IV. Marketing 101 a. Approved as a workshop by Dr. Maghoori and is approved for Fall
2006. We need to work on building advisories and or prerequisite in order to process this for curriculum.
V. BUS 22 and CAT 31a. Ron has had two students and were denied for substituting CAT 31
for BUS 22. Our contention is that BUS 22 is taught at a higher level than CAT 31. One possibility is to go to the CAT 31 faculty and propose we cross-list the courses. Another is to place more emphasis on the management content of our course. Ron will get an electronic copy of CAT 30 and CAT 31 and will email them to the entire discipline for review and discussion. Diana proposes taking this to Dr. Maghoori and soliciting his support for this course being taught exclusively by the Business discipline as we need some administrative intervention for solving this problem.

VIII. Agendaa. Motion to approve the proposed agenda. Motion carried (M/S/C)
IX. Course / Certificate revisiona. BUS 90
i. Add Business 90 (International Logistics) to :1. Certificate in Logistics Management and AS degree.2. Certificate and AS degree in Business Administration
with Logistics Management concentration. a. Rex has strong support with the introduction of
this course. Department is in favor of adding this course to the Business concentration pattern. (M/S/C, Wycoff /Chaks). Passed unanimously.
b. Insurance Program certificatei. Background information. Charlie posted on the discipline
website the course outlines for 6 insurances courses (INS 51-INS 56). This program is resulted in a million dollar grant to Solano College. They’ve done all the research and has been approved by their district chancellor. It’s being approved as a model by other community colleges by the state that they can adopt. The catch is we have to accept it exactly as it is written. Charlie has made a few minor changes. Charlie did not write the SLO’s and thinks they are weak, not what he would have written but… This has been written to be a stand-alone major. They would be a certificate pattern and stand-alone Associate Science degree. This program represents a total of 31 units and they are all specified. We don’t know a TOPS code for this yet, but in order to for it to be independent and could be something that’s still coming from the Chancellor’s office.
1. INS 51, INS 52, INS 53, INS 54, INS 55, INS 56
2. Motion for approval of INS 51- INS 56 and a stand alone certificate pattern of 31 units. (M/S/C, Chie/Patty). Passed unanimously.
c. Review course outlines for the following courses: BUS 20, MKT 40, MAG 46, and MAG 47, RLE 80 – RLE 86. Tom proposes we send these on 11 courses to curriculum, simply to put into what we hope is the newest format. There is no substantive changes. BUS 20 did have changes but these were made months ago. We are approving them contingent upon minor format issues to comply with curriculum committee. (M/S/C, Webster/Duran). Passed unanimously.
X. Program Review statusa. SLO Assessment
i. One of the things that is becoming critical is the BUS 10 assessment. We are in good shape here and have administered the pre-tests and now need to administer the post-test and get the results to Charlie.
ii. As a department we decided that our approach would initially develop assessments for our gateway courses but ultimately we need to develop and offer assessments (pre/post-tests) for all courses and to then rotate
iii. Outstanding assements to be completed by start of Fall semester 2006
1. ACC 1A (Patty)2. BUS 18a (LaNesha)
a. Depending on offerings the following need to be completed:
i. MAG 44 (Gail)ii. MKT 20 (Charlie)iii. RLE 80 (Tom)iv. PAL 10 (for Spring 2007)
1. Charlie suggested our approach should be to develop the questions and post the assessment on the website for department review.
XI. Tasks assigned on action plana. Ron discussed status in this area. We are behind in all areas. Ron
has attended 2 meetings on data review and analysis. Ron is learning how to navigate the data and is having marginal success. It’s setup to create pivot tables and Ron thinks are good for descriptive statistics but are not good for analytical statistics. So Ron is hoping to spend more time on this over the summer. Diana is taking on the course of revising the overall course descriptions. Ron, Diana, and I to meet the day after graduation to reformulate our approach.
XII. Cosmetology Business Degrees (review and recommend any needed changes).a. They offer a degree with a Business Administration concentration
and an entrepreneurial concentration. Peter Westbrook has asked us to take a look at this and see if it makes sense.
i. Mike, Cheryl and Patty propose we change ACC 1A to EITHER ACC 1A OR ACC 55. Propose to remove ACC 1B and replace it with ACC 65 (computerized accounting).
ii. LaNesha is suggesting BUS 18a be included in this certificate pattern.
iii. Gail suggested MAG 56 (Human Resources) as a choice.1. (M/S/C, Diana/Jose). Unanimously approved.
XIII. Public Administration certificate and degree (2102.00 TOPS code)a. This is still at a standstill. Ron has made a few overtures to Bill
Vincent. The Ben Clark center still wants to develop this degree and we have a list of suggested courses and have submitted them to the Ben Clark people and are awaiting their response.
XIV. Retail Management (WAFC) advisory committee meeting June 2 10:00 AM (volunteer?) a. Stater Brothers has employees have just completed a series of
these classes. We need a representative from our college to attend Ralphs advisory committee meeting. Gail proposes we send our PR person to attend this meeting (Linda Reifschneider). There are 10 courses that are required and we are getting enrollment. State Brothers you cannot get a promotion into management without this certificate.
XV. VTEA update a. Award for Riverside, $7,250.00 software license fees and ACBSP
membership Faculty staff development & printer for BE 206 were not funded. MV submitted proposals and Jose suspected there wouldn’t be enough money this year. Jose then worked with the Medical Assisting faculty member on a joint proposal for a wireless tablet classroom. Ron went to a training class on “Making Sense Out of Data.” Ron will email us some analytical stuff
XVI. Staff Development reports Ron Pardee “making Sense of Data” seminar presentationa. Ajene Wilcoxson, Innovation conference. Ajene feels we should
become a member of the Community College League for Innovation. If we get approval for staff development funds, Ajene feels we should attend. More information can be found at www.league.org.
b. Charlie Wyckoff attended a 3 day conference on Leadership. A presentation by Vicki Rogers at Jet Blue University, Charlie will pass on the weblink once it becomes available. What’s really needed from the business department is business communication. Soft skills, meeting skills. These components are currently being taught in the Business Communications class. Also learned about
Siriusmagic.com. Ron spoke with the faculty innovation center in MLK and learned that they will prepare 5 minutes of streaming online video for anyone who would like it.
c. LaNesha attended a seminar she attended given by Patricia Moody, 3 Letters from Teddy is a worthwhile read. She will disseminate to anyone who would like a copy.

courses:i. Required: BUS 10, BUS 40, BUS 43ii. Elective: 2 of the following: BUS 46, BUS 48, BUS 90, BUS
201. All of these courses currently exist . (M/S/C;
Gail/Tom) to approve this locally approved certificate. Unanimously approved.
XVIII. Discipline Facilitatora. Ron announced that he is resigning as discipline facilitator. Ron
opened the floor for nominations. Gail, Tom and Patty nominated Rex Beck. Diana offered to take it on for the Fall semester and we could then find someone to take it on in the Spring. (M/S/C, Tom/Patty) Diana has accepted the position and the discipline by consensus for Fall semester only.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DISCIPLINEE-VOTE RESULTS
ISSUE: Proposed Philosophy Course on Business Ethics & Possible Conflict with Business/Management Curriculum
The following set of findings and recommendations was proposed to the Business Administration Discipline with a request to approve (yes vote) or not approve (no vote) the recommendations below:
· The scope and student learning outcomes of the proposed Philosophy course and our existing course are significantly different.
Theirs is primarily theoretical with exploration of the theory to business; Ours is a more focused application course exploring issues of business and
managerial ethics with applications to evaluate and implement ethical standards, behavior and social responsibility programs and perspectives in the business and organizational framework. While our course involves some coverage of ethical theory, it is limited in the overall scope of the class.
· While the proposed course may be of interest to students who are also business students, the proposed course deals with ethical/philosophical theory first and business as a case-study exploration of these theories.
The proposed course is directed to the university transfer student who may or may not be a business major or to 4-year business majors who will do the majority of their pre-business coursework here and then transfer. (Most of you are aware that the majority of our Business Discipline course offerings are not accepted as transferable courses for the 4-year Business Major requirements which are generally upper division requirements.) The proposed course is a general education transferable course and will assist students meet General Education requirements, both here and at their transfer university.
Our course is an applied course designed for working students or business students working on their Certificate in Management and to those with academic and practical experience in business to build their skills in and responsibilities to establish and maintain ethical standards in their work environments.
· The course TITLE, “Business Ethics” for the proposed course could lead to some confusion for students who are seeking to complete one of the business certificates as well as implying a primary focus on Business rather than the theories of ethics as a primary focus. Similarly, our course title “Organizational Ethics” is perhaps vaguer than it should be and could be improved and even cross-listed between Management and Business to increase student draw and improve the Business’ students’ ethical behavior in applied business decision-making in their professional lives.
The Philosophy course will be re-titled “Moral Reasoning and Business” The Management course will be re-titled “Applied Management and Business
Ethics” and will be presented to discipline members for approval as a cross listed course in Business. Ron Pardee will put together a revised course outline for Management, a proposed course outline for the course under Business, gather the signatures and present both for either an e-vote or action as part of our work on our Marathon October 20 Program Review Meeting.

(New Insurance Courses)
REQUEST FOR ACTION:
On October 29, 2006, the following request for action was sent to all Business discipline members:
Requested Action: We have just had an E-vote regarding all the new insurance courses, Bus 61-66, but one thing that we need to do is vote to discontinue Bus 60 which has been replaced by Bus 61, Introduction to Insurance, and Bus 62, Personal Insurance Principles.
Charlie thought we had done that at some prior meeting, but I couldn’t find reference to deleting it in the minutes anywhere, so we need another E-vote.
Please reply with your vote by Friday, Nov 10:
YES: Deleting Bus 60, Introduction to Risk Management and Insurance, from our offeringsNO: Keep it! Duplication is great! We need even more course outlines to update regularly!

APPENDIX DSTATISTICAL ASSESSMENT
Program Review Data Analysis Fall terms 2001 – 2005Business / Accounting Program Review
The following are Process Behavior Charts which have been used since the 1920’s as part of Management Science (the field is now called Operations Management) to evaluate business (system) performance. Each chart is comprised of two graphs. The upper graph is a visual representation of the performance of a selected system over time. Included is the average of the data and two control limit lines. The upper control limit (UCL) and lower control limit (LCL) are the boundaries at which action should be taken if a data point falls outside of either the upper or lower control limit.
The control limits define the “normal” operation of the system represented. It is often referred to as “the voice of the process”. The process will continue to operate within these boundaries, unless there are systemic changes made to narrow the control limits, or there is a unique occurrence which influenced the system.
The first three charts are taken from the current program review data found at http:www.rccdfaculty.net/pages/programreview.jsp and represent the total enrollments across the district in Business and Accounting courses and the number (as well as percentage) of students with valid grades in the courses included in the data. A valid grade is defined as; A, B, C, or CR.
The purpose of this document is to provide a starting point for discussion regarding current performance and opportunities for change.
Chart 1 Total enrollment in Business/Accounting courses for fall terms 2001, 02, 03, 04 & 05Chart 1 Discussion points:
1. The average enrollment over the five year period, 2001 – 05 is 26492. The UCL & LCL limits represent the points where 99.7% of the time all data will
fall between these limits. The limits for this data are, UCL = 2991, LCL 2306. That means that there is less than .3% chance that we will exceed 2991 enrollments or be less than 2306.
3. The lower graph on chart 1 is the “Range” chart. This chart indicates that the average change in enrollment should be expected to be 129 enrollments with a maximum change of 421.
4. While it is not statistically significant, what happened in fall of 2003?
Appendix D
Chart 2 The number of Business / Accounting students with a grade of A, B, C or CR
Chart 2 Discussion points:
1. This is simply the number of students with “Valid” grades at the end of the semesters.
Appendix D
Chart 3 Percentage of students with valid grades
Chart 3 Discussion points:
1. This system will produce 61% of our students getting a “valid” grade. This chart also says that (with this system) there is less than .15% chance of more than 66% will succeed. By the same token, there is less than .15% chance that fewer than 56% will succeed.
2. This is the overall picture. It says, based on the data for the past five fall semesters, 61% (plus or minus 4.47%) of all of the students in Business and Accounting courses will end the semester with a valid grade.
3. Since this is our overall performance, we can compare success in any course (or even section) to determine significant (above 66% or below 56%) differences.

Paralegal Environmental Scan
Per America’s Career InfoNet: Occupational profile and the California Employment Development Department, Labor Market information, 2007 , the state and national trends for Paralegals is as such: There is a projected percentage change of 29% of growth for paralegals between 2004-2014, and a 28.5% change in growth for paralegals in California, with a projected employment of 32,900 paralegals in California. There is also a projected amount of 940 “annual job openings,” between this time as well.
As the demand and need for more affordable legal services arises, so will the need for paralegal professionals. In addition, more and more complex cases arrive at the court steps, thereby requiring additional legal professional to help support the overwhelmed courts calendar. The academic, vocational and technical skills that are required of paralegal professionals. These skills include but are not limited to:
Reading comprehension Oral comprehension Inductive reasoning Written expression Proficient in computers and electronics Customer and personal service Knowledge of laws, legal codes, court procedures, precedents, government
regulations, executive orders, agency rules, and the democratic process. Also, abilities to (include, but are not limited to): Analyze existing evidence or
facts, legal questions; appraise, evaluate, or inventory real Property; communicate technical information; apply and use technical programs and software to legal situations, compose and draft pleadings, conduct legal research, and conduct legal investigations, or the like.
As for education and training trends, the “most common education/training level for paralegals is an Associate degree. Who are the Major employers in the Inland Empire? Almost any business organization has some form of a legal department or division whereby they utilize legal professionals; in some capacity or another. However, the employers of paralegals are predominantly law firms government agencies. There are a vast amount of jobs available for paralegals with the federal government. A major employer in Riverside County/Inland Empire of paralegals is law firms and local government agencies. There are at least 40,935 “Offices of Lawyers” in California, and at least 121 in Riverside County alone; (see CA Labor Market attachment). The Riverside District Attorney and Public Defender’s Office are also employers of paralegals. The Riverside Superior Court also hires legal professionals by a related occupation title of “clerk.”
Paralegals also typically work for or with: Lawyers, Judges, Government employers, Law Clerks, Public Interest Agencies, Title Companies, Real Estate companies, and Courts.
