This public notice shall serve to inform the campus community and program stakeholders that the following program is under Program Viability Review: Respiratory Therapy Program. 

Program Viability Review is a process through which East Los Angeles College (ELAC), in consultation with its Academic Senate, conducts an “in-depth analysis, beyond that provided through program review” of an “educational program,” as defined in Title 5, section 55000(g). LACCD Board Rule 6803 sets the standard or Program Viability Review and ensures that the College’s instructional resources are used in response to the College Mission, the goals and objectives outlined in the Strategic Master Plan, the needs of the students, and of the community it serves. The Program Viability Review considers the program’s link to the College’s Mission, the quality of the program, the feasibility of offering the program, program compliance with all related legal and governing obligations, and if there is a clear need for the program.
