The Education Policy Committee's actions and recommendations are presented regarding resolutions passed at the fall 1981 conference of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC).

Statewide articulation activities are detailed next, including those of the Articulation Council, the California Postsecondary Education Commission, the California Roundtable for Higher Education, the Intersegmental Committee of Academic Senates, the Chancellor's Office of California Community Colleges, and the ASCCC. Committee recommendations concerning articulation at the local level are followed by a listing of ASCCC resolutions passed between 1979 and 1981 concerning articulation. Committee analyses, responses, and recommendations are presented next for ASCCC resolutions regarding the Educational Code's amended definition of "students who can profit from instruction"; expectations of high school students entering community colleges with respect to course work; and procedures to identify and remediate deficiencies in basic reading, writing, or math competencies.
