Why This Matters

It matters because it directly improves quality, efficiency, and accountability in how academic information is managed and shared.

Specifically:

  • Consistency and accuracy: Having a single editor reduces conflicting or outdated information across SBCTC and Seattle Colleges, which helps ensure students, faculty, and staff are all working from the same, reliable source.
  • Clear ownership and accountability: A designated editor creates a single point of responsibility, making it clear who maintains the data and who to contact when changes are needed.
  • Faster, more reliable updates: Centralized management streamlines updates, reduces duplication of effort, and minimizes delays or errors caused by multiple editors working in parallel.
  • Improved trust and decision-making: Accurate, consistent academic information builds confidence among stakeholders and supports better planning, advising, and compliance. 

This approach reduces risk, saves time, and strengthens the integrity of academic information across Seattle Colleges.
