Nashville State Technical Community College’s legal authority and operating controls for the college are clearly defined within the institution's governance structure.
The legal authority for establishing Nashville State Technical Community College and its mission is found in the Bylaws of the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) [1]. As stated in Core Requirement 2.4, Nashville State has a clearly defined Mission Statement. [2] Minutes of the December 3, 2004 TBR Board meeting reflect the action taken to approve campus mission statements [3].
As stated in Core Requirement 2.4, Nashville State’s mission is reviewed every five years in accordance with the TBR's Strategic Planning cycle [4]. A "Statement of Institutional Involvement" [6] is submitted with the proposed mission statement, which shows how input from the college is obtained in formulating the mission statement. The Assessment and Planning Council at NSCC is charged with leading the campus-wide discussion on revisions to the mission [5]. The Council receives comments and suggestions from various constituencies and presents its recommended changes to the President. The President and the Executive Committee both review and approve the draft revision and the President forwards the revised statement to the TBR for its approval [6].
