Article II - Board

Article I - General Powers

The College for Officer Training (CFOT) Board of Governance (“Board”) serves as the educational authority for the College for Officer Training at Crestmont (“College”), an educational unit of The Salvation Army, a California corporation operating as the Western Territory of The Salvation Army in the United States.

The Board is responsible for oversight of the education and training of candidates for officership, including approval of the liberal arts curriculum, assurance of the quality of academic instruction and practical field experience, and the exercise of its delegated authority in implementing the policies and procedures of the Western Territory in matters related to education, accreditation, and administration.

The Board is accountable for safeguarding the financial stability of the College and for ensuring that the College’s mission is carried out in alignment with the fiscal policies and practices of the Western Territory.

The primary function of the Board is to establish the policies by which the College is administered and to hold the Principal and staff accountable for implementation of the educational program. This accountability includes regular review of institutional effectiveness indicators, including student learning and achievement outcomes, and oversight of institutional plans for maintaining and improving academic quality.
