San Joaquin Delta College has been issued a warning for several deficiencies outlined in an accreditation review by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
The private organization's recommendations range from trustees adopting a code of ethics, developing a comprehensive strategic plan and stabilizing the management team.
Delta Superintendent and President Raul Rodriguez said Monday it has become difficult for colleges to meet the stringent standards for accreditation.
"The new standards are not easy to meet," he said. "We thought we'd have done better than this."
Delta is required to respond with a report detailing how it will address the recommendations by Oct. 15. Despite the warning, the college will be able to maintain its accredited status. The warning is essentially a fix-it ticket that could turn serious for Delta if it is not rectified.
The college must correct the deficiencies by June 2010 or the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges could terminate Delta's accreditation.
