Last Year at Oakton
Each summer Oakton, like all Illinois community colleges, submits two major annual reports to the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) and the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB). These reports, officially called the IBHE Results Report and the ICCB Accountability/Program Review Report, contain a great deal of information about the past year’s Oakton programs, services, activities and achievements that address statewide goals and expectations for higher education in Illinois.â This month’s In the Abstract presents a sampling of this information. For complete reports, contact the Office of Research.
