VOLUNTARY FRAMEWORK OF ACCOUNTABILITY (VFA)

OFFICE OF INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH AND PLANNING

The VFA is the principle accountability framework for community colleges with measures defined to encompass the full breadth of the community college mission and the diversity of students' goals and educational experiences. The mission-appropriate measures determine how well community colleges are serving students; provide colleges the ability to identify problems and set goals for institutional improvement; and be properly accountable to stakeholders.
