Randolph Community College was one of 11 community colleges in North Carolina that met "Exceptional Institutional Performance (EIP)" standards in the annual accountability measures for North Carolina's 58 community colleges, according to a report released yesterday. In addition to meeting or exceeding all eight system standards, these 11 schools met additional performance goals. Those goals were achieving the college performance rates of students who began in, rather than transferred into, the UNC System and attaining at least a 70 percent passing rate for students who sit for a licensure or certification exam for the first time. The accountability measures are based on 2008-09 academic year data.
Additionally, RCC was one of only four colleges in the state who achieved EIP two years in a row. "There is not a college president in this state who is more proud of his or her college's faculty and staff," said RCC President Robert S. Shackleford Jr. "These are not easy standards to meet, so that is why 47 schools did not meet them. We knocked it out of the ballpark."
