Note: This policy replaces retired Board Policy 515 (last reviewed March 5, 2025). The language has been adopted without change and renumbered to align with the four-digit policy structure.

Board Policies are adopted by the Lane Community College Board of Education and establish the College’s governing principles and institutional direction. These policies are reviewed by the Board at least every five years or more often as needed. Board Policies are distinct from College Operating Policies and Procedures (COPPS), which provide operational guidance and are developed through governance processes and by responsible managers.
