Institutional Effectiveness Partnership Initiative. 2023 Report

The Institutional Effectiveness Partnership Initiative (IEPI) launched in 2014 as a collaborative effort to help districts promote student success and improve their fiscal and operational effectiveness. The initiative focuses on four major aspects of institutional effectiveness: 1) student performance and outcomes; 2) accreditation status; 3) fiscal viability; and 4) programmatic compliance with state and federal guidelines. IEPI works in alignment with all California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office (Chancellor's Office) divisions and supports several statewide priorities, including currently and formerly incarcerated education and the California Conservation Corps. Thanks to the state investments in IEPI, the Chancellor's Office is able to support college efforts as they contribute to statewide goals, including but not limited to: (1) Reducing and erasing equity gaps in student completion and retention; (2) Reducing regional gaps; (3) Hastening equitable placement in Math and English, accelerating faculty, staff and administrative diversity; (4) Cultivating opportunities for courageous leadership that prioritizes equity in mindset and practice and/or fostering innovations in cultivating a more equitable, inclusive and transformative teaching and learning ecosystem; and (5) Diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) implementation on college campuses. This report includes activities funded pursuant to Section 194 of the State Budget Act of 2022 and progress toward college and district institutional effectiveness indicator goals. This report reflects the period from July 01, 2022, through June 30, 2023.
