Note: This policy replaces retired Board Policy 030, which was last reviewed November 18, 2019. The language from the former three-digit policy was adopted without change for this new four-digit policy number.

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.
