Bakersfield College had begun a major emphasis on student assessment about two years before the CLIP work began. The accreditation focus on assessment and the commitment of several new faculty and administrative leaders created the initial support for CLIPs. The support grew as faculty experienced the value of CLIPs and encouraged their continuance. This support was sustained through major leadership changes at the college, including turnover at the president, vice president, and dean levels.

The CLIP work weathered all of the changes and remains solidly supported by faculty and administrators despite (or peerhaps because of) major debates at the beginning about how to position CLIPs within the college.
