In accordance with Administrative Procedure AP 4020 Curriculum Development, discipline committees make recommendations to the District Curriculum Committee for any alignment of new subjects within disciplines (minimum qualification area) as part of the subject approval process.
In addition to their curricular contributions, District discipline committees review equivalency applications, as well as the LACCD Alternate Degree Titles List and provide recommendations to the District Equivalency Committee regarding both, the equivalency applications, and the updated alternate titles to assist in determining minimum qualifications for new faculty. They also provide recommendations to the District Academic Senate regarding discipline-specific criteria for equivalency (see Administrative Procedure AP 7211 Faculty Service Areas, Minimum Qualifications, and Equivalencies).
A district discipline committee is a formally organized and recognized committee composed of faculty members teaching in a specific discipline or set of related disciplines taught in the District. Each college offering courses in that discipline shall have one faculty member teaching in the discipline representing the college on the district discipline committee.
