Compliance Audit Committee


Minutes of the Meeting of
January 17, 2000

Present: Early, Ergle, Hakkenberg, L.Lynch, G.Steehler, Talbot, Umberger, Weiss (chair), Whitson, Wilson, Wisnefske

The meeting began at 2:45 p.m.

Greg updated the committee on the issues discussed at Friday's meeting.

Greg reviewed the expectations that our review team will have for us in the area of institutional effectiveness. As an overview, R.C. now has in place an excellent infrastructure, academic majors/programs and administrative divisions have written very good assessment plans, and we have a fairly rich history in some areas of assessment (e.g., our PEP system). We will not be able to demonstrate completion of the annual cycle for the desired number of years, and knowledge about good assessment practices needs to continue to grow.

The Committee reviewed the draft of Section III. There was very good discussion about our strengths and weaknesses in this area and some very good suggestions for revisions in our report.

The Committee will meet next on January 24 with Chuck and Ned presenting.

The meeting ended at 3:55 p.m.
