Re: TRACS Institutional Change Form T4 Request
Dear Dr. Boatner:
It is my pleasure to once again address you as the President of the “new” Shorter College.
The mission of the College is an evolution of all of the changes that have brought the institution to this
next stage of transition. Nourished by its African American heritage and energized by a commitment to
excellence and diversity, the evolved mission of Shorter College is to prepare its students through a
Christ-centered education for lives of responsible service in the church, the community, and the world.
The College seeks to prepare students academically who have diverse backgrounds and educational
needs for leadership and service in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world. Shorter College
is committed to graduating life-long learners who possess a sense of community awareness, sound
character, and social responsibility.
Thus, Shorter College is requesting a change to its current operations, to include two new teaching sites.
We have followed the format for the Application for Proposed Institutional Change. It is presented by
addressing each category under the prospectus checklist with documentation.
Succinctly, the information contained in the following pages provides the rationale for the request of
Shorter College to expand its function in the state of Arkansas.
Yours for a greater Shorter College, O. Jerome Green, Esquire President of Shorter College cc: Dr. Ron Cannon

ABSTRACT
1. Describe in some detail the proposed substantive change
In effort to expand Shorter College’s educational ministry, Shorter College will extend its
educational opportunities to students who are in the custody of the Arkansas Department of
Youth Services Alexander Unit, a juvenile detention facility. The Department of Youth Services
provides effective programs that address the needs of delinquent and troubled youth and assist
them with meeting performance goals, completes observation checks and provide role model
behavior to assist youth with problem solving and competency development.
Under the proposed agreement, Shorter College would send instructors to the Alexander Unit to
conduct the classes. These courses would be offered by Shorter College and these students would
be enrolled as students working toward an associate degree.
2. Indicate the location of change (if applicable)
This facility where instruction will be held is the Department of Youth Services located at the
address referenced below.
Alexander Youth Services Center
1501 Woody Drive
Alexander, Arkansas 72002
4. Projected number of students involved (if applicable)
The initial expected enrollment will be 20 students, for the spring 2015 term, with a potential of
enrolling 40-50 students for future terms. See the projections below:
Spring 2015 Fall 2015 Spring 2016 Fall 2016 Spring 2017
20 25 30 35 40
5. Describe primary target audience
Adults between the between 17-18 years of age who are residents of the Arkansas Department of
Youth Services Alexander Unit, a juvenile detention facility in the Little Rock metropolitan area
who have achieved a high school diploma or received a G.E.D. certificate
6. Projected life of program
Currently, Shorter College intends to further extend its educational opportunities to the Arkansas
Department of Youth Services Alexander Unit starting spring 2015. When mapping the
educational path, the institution desires to extend their services to the Arkansas Department of
Youth Services for the life of the college. The administration will evaluate the program and its
effectiveness within two years to determine if programmatic and/or procedural changes are
needed. Upon review, the institution will continue to offer educational opportunities, with a two-
year review, to evaluate usefulness and value to both the Arkansas Department of Youth Service
and Shorter College.
7. Instructional delivery methods
Shorter College faculty will utilize direct instruction as their primary delivery method utilizing
lectures, group activities and hands-on related activities. Additionally, students will utilize
identical resources such as text book and other supplementary materials as the main campus.
Course taught at this site will follow the approved instructional curriculum.
The following are considerations:
A. Lecture/Lecture Discussions - Factual materials are presented in a direct, logical
manner; teacher spoken information is conveyed; students are involved after the lecture;
students can question, clarify, and challenge, as well as pool ideas and experiences from
the group.
B. Guest Speakers - Can provide an engaging presence, personalize a topic to make it more
interesting and challenging; can break down stereotypes; present biblical information in
an understandable and objectively interpretative manner.
C. Multimedia (computer, internet, CD, DVD, films, etc.) - Internet content is easily
accessible and is a cost effective way to interact with students and disseminate content;
students may take advantage of independent investigations in a wide range of subjects.
D. Role Playing - Through vignettes in problem situations, students can assume roles of
others and appreciate others’ opinions; provide opportunities to practice skills, and allow
for probable solutions to problems.
E. Case Studies - Can assist in developing analytic and problem-solving solutions; students
can apply new knowledge and skills.
F. Worksheets and Surveys - These allow students to think for themselves without being
influenced by others. Individual thoughts can be shared by all.
G. Cooperative Learning helps foster mutual responsibility; research becomes an effective
technique, and students can learn to be patient, less critical, and more compassionate.
H. Brainstorming encourages full participation in that all ideas are equally recorded; draws
on group knowledge and experience, and one idea can spark a multiplicity of other ideas.
I. Direct Teaching—With very specific learning targets, students understand the reason
why content is important and can help to clarify goals and objectives of the course; this
method is relatively easy to measure student gains and is good for teaching specific facts
and basic skills.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
8. Provide a statement of nature and purpose of change in relation to institution mission
and goals.
It is our belief that this teaching site is a unique opportunity for Shorter College to help develop
character, citizenship, culture and core competencies to prepare individuals to positively
contribute to society.
10. Provide evidence of any needed legal authority (including board approval) for the
change.
The following persons and entities are required for approving this change:
The Superintendent of the Arkansas Department of Human Services Division of Youth
Services – (Approved. See Appendix: ADHS Approval)
Shorter College Board of Trustees – (Approved. See Appendix: Board Approval)
Arkansas Department of Education – (No approval needed. See Appendix: Memo from
the Department of Education)
11. Is proposed degree program or a similar program offered on main campus or other off-
campus sites; explain as needed.
The degree program that will be offered at this teaching site is similar to the degree programs
current offered on the main campus of Shorter College.
ASSESSMENT OF NEED PROGRAM PLANNING APPROVAL
12. Discuss rationale for change, including an assessment of need.
Goal 8 of the Strategic Plan states to enrich academic and instructional programs including a
strategy to create an environment of mutual respect that allows for open access and comfortable
exchange of ideas between the college and community it serves and to ensure the use of informal
and formal vehicles of communication.
The President has met with various Boards and Public Services organizations, and school
districts (including North Little Rock) entities through the penal and correction system including
the leadership of the Alexander Unity Youth Service center and others. These meetings and
discussions have resulted in several action plans which include the Alexander Youth Services
Center.
A formal assessment of need was not utilized in the development of our current plans to extend
the educational opportunities to student 17-18 years of age who are residents of the Arkansas
Department of Youth Services. However, in those deliberations with the administration of the
center, a strong need was discussed including using this concept as a model to other possible
agencies in Arkansas and other states.
Officials from Shorter College including the Director of Sponsors Programs, the Associate Dean
of Academic Programs, the Director of Admissions and the Director of Financial Aid Office,
explain the institution’s academic programs to the residents of the Arkansas Department Youth
Services, who in returned expressed desire in obtain an education beyond high school.
13. Provide evidence of inclusion of the change in institution’s ongoing planning and
evaluation process.
The 2013-2020 Strategic Plan process engaged all constituents of the college in a variety of
planned retreats, forums and meetings. There was considerable opportunity for envisioning. The
mission statement was revisited and revised, issues, trends and values were discussed and careful
thought given to those internal and external factors likely to hinder or help the future
development of the institution. (See Appendix: Strategic Plan)
14. Document that faculty, board and other groups were involved in the review, approval
and continuing control (as appropriate) of new (or deleted) program.
(See Appendix: Board Approval)
DESCRIPTION OF THE CHANGE
20. Describe administrative oversight.
The Dean of Academic Affairs along with the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs will provide
the oversight for the course offering at the proposed teaching site.
FACULTY
21. Provide a complete roster (using the attached Instructional Staff Listing [ISL]) of
faculty employed to teach in the program.
(See Appendix: Instructional Staff Listing – ISL).
LIBRARY LEARNING RESOURCES
27. Describe library/information resources needed to support the program.
The materials under consideration include sections 100 (Philosophy and Psychology) and 200
(Religion) of the Dewey Decimal system. We have received from EBSCO through the state of
Arkansas some eBooks under the above mentioned call numbers. We are also looking at the
Digital Karl Barth Library.
In addition to the ARKlink Consortium of College and University libraries, Shorter College has
joined the American Theological Library association (ATLA) as an associate member. The
mission of the American Theological Library Association (ATLA) is to foster the study of
theology and religion by enhancing the development of theological and religious studies libraries
and librarianship. Established in 1946, ATLA is governed by an elected board of directors and
has over 800 individual, institutional, and affiliate members.
ATLA’s member libraries and librarians provide tens of millions of resources for scholarly
research to tens of thousands of students, faculty, staff, and administrators. The association
supports the membership with a wide range of services and products, including an annual
conference, members-only publications and discounts, and professional development
opportunities. ATLA’s in-house team of content, technical, and marketing experts offers a
prestigious product line of electronic resources to support the scholarly study of religion and
theology. All of these resources, including the ATLA Religion Database® (ATLA RDB®),
ATLASerials® (ATLAS®), and ATLA Catholic Periodical and Literature Index® (ATLA
CPLI®), are subscribed to by thousands of institutions worldwide. ATLA RDB is the premier
online index of citations covering journal articles, book reviews, and essay collections in all
fields of religion. ATLA is an online full-text collection of major religion and theology journals,
and ATLA CPLI provides indexing of periodicals, essay collections, church documents, papal
documents, and electronic resources expressly addressing the practice and intellectual tradition
of Roman Catholicism. ATLA also oversees historical archives initiatives and works with
several publishing partners to offer electronic versions of specialized bibliographic and reference
products (Appendix-ATLA Affiliate Membership Documentation).
The A.W. Young Library of Shorter College is expanding its library/information resources to
strengthen services for students and faculty in all of its academic areas, research and service;
however, the proposed Bachelor of Christian Leadership has resulted in efforts to plan for
increased material and human resources to specifically support the program. Books in the 100,
200, and 300 categories have been identified and will be ordered (Appendix-Book Cost List).
The Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Shorter College is working with the AME Church
Publishing House Director to attain all of the major publications printed there. Shorter College
will become a repository for AME Church documents, journals, histories, etc. This will be a
niche for the A.W. Young Library ARKlink as a viable member in a reciprocal position.
Professional development collections for faculty will be needed; databases specifically for
religion, philosophy, social sciences will be needed.
Current technology including computers, Smart Board, and other multimedia equipment will be
needed. A full-time librarian will be needed for the 1st year, along with a front desk clerk. In
year two, an additional full-time librarian will be needed because of the anticipated growth of the
student body.
28. Document the staffing and services in place to support the initiative
Our existing faculty and staff will support this proposed initiative. Currently, there are no plans
to include additional staff and faculty to support and coordinate this initiative.
PHYSICAL RESOURCES
33. Describe the physical facilities and equipment to support initiative/change
The Arkansas Juvenile Assessment and Treatment Center (Alexander, Arkansas) is a secure
assessment, detention, and residential treatment program for 100 male and females, ages 12-18,
who are committed to the Arkansas Division of Youth Services (DYS). AJATC provides mental
health, substance abuse and sex offender services. G4S additionally operates the school, under
the Department of Youth Services. The AJATC is accredited by the American Corrections
Association (ACA). The facility has 12 classrooms, a Library, a Conference Room, Employee
Lounge, a large canteen, and an area that functions as the school’s office to execute
administrative function.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
34. Include projected revenues, expenditures, and cash flow for the next five years and in
which a budget for the first year of the program is included.
(See Appendix: Five-Year Budget with Financial Support).
35. Summarize the anticipated financial impact of the change.
The addition of this new teaching site will have minimal impact on the expense and additional
expenditures for the institution. The addition of 20-40 students will increase enrollment and
project revenue by 5%-10%, contingent upon semester enrollment and trends.

INTRODUCTION
Shorter College has a bright future. As bright as the promises of God! Its potential for leadership and service is
great. With the goal of improving the quality of our students’ lives, we believe that with concerted effort,
goodwill and a creative and imaginative approach to problem solving. The institution will continue to be a vital
and vibrant force in the community. This will ensure the viability of its place, and each program/units’ needs to
link its mission and agenda to the fundamental values and principles of the college community.
In its 124 years of service, this institution has had as its principal mission increasing access to students from
underserved minority populations. Its students have been primarily first-generation college students. A large
number of who have been educationally and economically disadvantaged. The College has had to provide the
support needed for students to succeed while at the same time uphold high academic standards. The College is
proud of the positive impact it has had in the lives of thousands of students from across the world. It has had a
unique mission to engage students where they are and take them to where they need to be. The result has been
an outstanding record of the majority of its graduates transferring to four-year institutions of their choice.
Events within the past 10 years provided opportunities for self-reflection and opened the way for conversations
about the future of the institution. Since the college community was of one accord that Shorter College must
survive, attention turned to developing a strategic plan. Most useful to the process is the awareness by every
stakeholder that there must be a paradigm shift and a commitment to substantive change to enable the institution
not only to survive, but also to be renewed and revitalized in order to provide more useful and higher quality
services and programs.
Every effort has been made to craft a Plan that will be flexible enough to allow imaginative responses to
developing needs and intentional in maximizing strengths, retaining values and strengthening designated areas
needing it.
THE VISION
The vision of Shorter College is to remain a fully accredited two-year institution and to achieve distinction as a
residential Christian College that excels in providing a challenging teacher-learner environment that will create
a holistic transformative individual which embodies the four C’s:
Competency - The ability to perform in today’s society.
Character – To develop a lifestyle of integrity.
Citizenship – The ability to embracing social and civic responsibility.
Culture – The ability to understand and operate in a diverse environment.
The Mission Statement
The mission of Shorter College is to provide accessible, affordable, high quality education for students to
accomplish their academic or career goals by offering programs that meet the learner’s needs in a challenging
and nurturing Christian environment.
P a g e | 2
SWOT Analysis
There were many recurring themes in discussions about the role of Shorter College and the services it provides.
Its weaknesses seem overwhelming, but what can never be overlooked is the fact that it has survived major
crisis over its 124 years and has served with distinction in spite of its weaknesses and limitations. The
consensus is that a deliberate effort must be made to strengthen and modernize its infrastructures, raise the
visibility of the institution and provide adequate resources for operation so that it will continue to play its most
significant role of helping people to bridge the gap between where they are and where they need to be.
The traditional SWOT Analysis was done which identified the following:
I. Strengths
Christian-oriented
Small college
Conveniently located and in a urban area / population
Title IV Eligibility
Fiscal Accountability
Individualized attention for students
Dedicated and competent faculty and staff
Affordable and flexible tuition
Evening classes available
Available child care on campus
Adequate computer and science labs
Relationship to churches offers a supportive constituency
Successful alumni/ alumnae
Commitment and loyalty of its constituencies
II. Weaknesses
Saturday classes are not available
Limited library facilities and resources
Limited availability of scholarship (provided by Shorter College)
P a g e | 3
Limited administrative staff
Limited participation by community leaders on the Board
Limited participation of community and business in the life the college
Limited endowment
III. Opportunities
The college has an opportunity to reinvent itself
Establishing and maintaining contact with alumni/alumnae supporters
Strengthening the student-friendly atmosphere of the institution
Partnering with schools, government agencies, and other institutions of higher education, churches,
businesses and voluntary organizations
Collaborate with government officials to engage in economic development activity as a focal point in the
community
Seeking out students with special needs with the desire for further education and training
Economic expansion will provide opportunities for very low and low-income individuals and
families.
The recent building of Verizon Arena, Clinton Presidential Library, and Dickey-Stephens Baseball
Park has increased demand for both service and technical jobs. Zoning has likely changed to
encourage up-scale businesses to locate in these areas.
More women joining the workforce will increase demand for good quality child care, baby-sitting
and after-school care.
There will be increasing demand for career counseling and job placement.
A trend that will be pivotal in the revitalization of Shorter College is the explosion of technology and
its use in teaching, learning and administration. Thus responding to the increasing demand for
students and workers who are computer literate, and incorporating the use of the new technology in
its operations and in teaching would greatly enhance its service.
Demand by industry for basic competencies rather than specific technical training for its workers
Critical need for a better educated and more productive workforce
The enormous potential of partnerships with community agencies
Increasing need for creating partnerships with four-year institutions beyond the facilitation of
transfer from one institution to another.
Decision of the University of Arkansas System to raise grade level for admission to 3.0 which will
exclude a significantly large prospective student population.
P a g e | 4
Establishment of some social programs will increase demand for basic education and job training for
a large number of persons who have never worked. Some will want to pursue a college education.
Increasingly, demand for parenting, home care and child care skills.
Increasingly, non-traditional students (adult and part-time or intermittent) and international students
are now seeking admission.
Figures show that African American students continue to perform below national level and below
white students academically.
One of the most critical factors in the changing landscape of higher education is a growing
awareness that the two-year community and technical colleges could be considered “prime vehicles”
for educational service to businesses.
IV. Threats
Inadequate infrastructure for our rate of growth
Lack of modern facilities
Lack of residential housing
Present inability inadequate funding to provide competitive salaries
Goals: After much consultation and discussion, it was decided to pursue the following goals to for institutional
revitalization during the next five years:
1. To maintain national accreditation with both TRACS.
2. To become regionally accredited with North Central Accreditation.
3. To become fiscal viable (an operable in-house financial system)
4. To improve and maintain financial security.
a. Establishing and expanding our endowment
5. To increase corporate and community participation on the Board of Trustees.
P a g e | 5
6. To include corporate and community leaders in the life of the college.
7. To expand and upgrade the college’s physical plant.
8. To enrich academic and instruction programs:
a. Library Services (objectives)
b. Scholarship Offering
9. Enrich administrative support services and experiences.
10. To recruitment and retain faculty and students
See specifics for each goal referenced above and the supported objectives and strategies designed to achieve these goals.

Proposed Seven-Year Budget July 2013-June 2020
Financial resources required to meet the institutional goals as stated in the institution’s Strategic Plan is based
on student enrollment, income generated from Alexander Turner Daycare Center and the monthly revenue as
given to Shorter College by the 12th
District African Episcopal Church. Student income was initially projected
to be 150 students per semester at a tuition cost of $1380.00 per student. Summer school was not included in the
projection. Alexander Turner Daycare Center was expected to generate approximately the same income based
on last year figures.
The budget is currently being adjusted and revised to meet the institutional goals in the strategic plan. Financial
resources required to meet the institutional goals will be based on an adjusted and revised student enrollment of
263 students per semester at a student cost of 2100 which includes tuition and fees. First semester Summer
school of Eighty five ( 85) students and 2nd
semester summer school of 123 students at a cost of 1000 and
revenue will also be included in the in the adjusted and revised enrollment.

Appendix A: Demographic Data
Demographic
Population growth in Little Rock and North Little Rock is expected because of desirable geographic locations,
economic opportunities and quality of life in the area. Two other factors are important: the population is
growing older and the non-white population is increasing, especially the Hispanic population. According to the
2000 U.S. Bureau of Census Report, the population growth in selected Arkansas cities, towns, and counties,
during the past 13 years (1990-2003), is listed below as follows:
