COLLEGE OF THE REDWOODS

Board of Trustees Policy No. 116

CLASSROOM GUEST SPEAKERS

The Board recognizes that there are many people in the community who can provide to a specific class resources that may not be otherwise available. The Board, therefore, encourages staff members to seek such community resources and to invite them to participate as classroom guest speakers.

Classroom guest speakers shall not meet with classes on a regularly scheduled basis, and they do not substitute for the presence of the faculty member. The Board recognizes that good educational practice dictates that opposing points of view be given opportunity for equal time.
