Institutional Effectiveness Committee

  • Mr. Fry outlined the need to re-activate the Council's Institutional Effectiveness Committee. He briefly went over the handout that outlined the responsibilities, membership and leadership of this Committee. He recommended that co-chairs, one from the faculty and one from the administrative community, be appointed by the Council. Ms. Nikki Howard, Director of Internal Audit/Assistant to the Chancellor for Compliance has volunteered to serve as the the co-chair for administration portion of the Committee. The Provost and Deans are asked to recommend faculty to serve on this committee. Mr. Fry recommended and the Council supported the concept of making this the self-study Institutional Effectiveness Committee and appointing members to a term that extends through the end of the re-affirmation process.
