Abstract	Recent accreditation guidelines of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, as well as various legislative initiatives, require two-year institutions in Kansas to develop measures of student achievement as part of their overall assessment of institutional effectiveness. In July and August of 1992, a subcommittee of the Kansas Council of Instructional Administrators sent a questionnaire to the deans of instruction at Kansas's community colleges to obtain information on each college's institutional effectiveness assessment plans. Survey findings, based on a 100% response rate from the 19 deans, included the following: (1) 79% of the deans indicated that the colleges had engaged in a review of their mission statements as a preparation for assessing institutional effectiveness, though only 47% had involved students in the review process; (2) only six deans viewed faculty members as "strongly committed" to the process of institutional effectiveness assessment; (3) only 42% of the colleges had developed a formal plan or model for assessing institutional effectiveness; (4) while most colleges conducted formal evaluations of academic programs, few utilized student-outcomes based evaluation; (5) the most frequently used measures of student achievement were retention rate, grade distribution analysis, pass rates on licensure exams, and employment rates; (6) at 12 colleges, the evaluation of faculty was considered part of the institutional assessment process; and (7) 74% of the deans reported that sustaining long-term faculty support represented a significant obstacle to the successful implementation of an institutional assessment plan.
