ACTION ITEMSAdvocate for clinical fees

Identified in 2010 in a report to the Dean of Occupational Education regarding cost of the DMS program.

To run clinical education consistent with JRCDMS accreditation standards, the DMS program needs the equivalent of a full-time clinical coordinator (40 hours)

JCC has the lowest tax base of all its competitors offering DMS programs at roughly 10%.

In 2010 it was estimated that the General DMS program was running a deficit of nearly $10,000 per semester given contact hours paid to instructors and tuition collected
