At Bakersfield College, a temporary Coordinating Committee shaped the CLIP work during the two-year pilot phase. The Coordinating Committee’s membership included:

  1. the CLIP Guide,
  2. CLIP facilitators (all faculty members or staff),
  3. the institutional research director,
  4. two deans from the college.

The Coordinating Committee brought the perspectives of knowledgeable people throughout the organization together to keep the CLIP work positioned appropriately as new situations developed. They maintained a first-hand perspective on how the CLIPs were operating through the CLIP Facilitators and Guide. This informal group devoted its meetings to decision-making about the future direction of the CLIPs and helped to coordinate the CLIP work with other activities on campus. The committee made the decisions about CLIP applications.

The Assessment Committee took on this role once Bakersfield College decided to move CLIPs from a pilot effort to a long-term structure within the college. The composition of the Assessment Committee at Bakersfield College differed from that of the Coordinating Committee in that current CLIP Facilitators were not a part committee unless they also happened to be Assessment Committee members. Three members of the Assessment Committee were former CLIP Facilitators and two other people joined the Assessment Committee because of interest generated through involvement in a CLIP.
