Review of a Proposal for Los Rios Community College District to Establish an Educational Center in Davis. Commission Report 08-24

The Los Rios Community College District has proposed to convert its Davis outreach operations to a single, state-approved educational center. The proposal responds to the district's need to expand educational services in the Davis area. The area is marked by high student demand and limited instructional facilities. In the 2006-07 academic year, Davis outreach operations served more than 1,000 full-time equivalent students (FTES), which is more than double the enrollment required for a state-approved educational center. The center will be situated on the UC Davis campus. This paper presents a review of Los Rios Community College District's proposal. Appended are: (1) Summary of Proposal Concerns Expressed by Angela Fairchilds, President, Woodland Community College; and (2) Materials provided by the Los Rios Community College District as a Response to Questions Raised by Commission Staff.
