HLC Accreditation Reaffirmation
HLC Accreditation Reaffirmation:
Agenda for December 2-3, 2005 Visit to Haskell
*For Open Forums: Ensure that these are advertised widely so everyone, students, staff, faculty, etc., are encouraged and free to attend. When publishing these, please include some basic thoughts about each open forum. For example, Open Forum on criteria 1 & 2 is about fulfilling the mission, diversity, student and faculty involvement in community & society, ethics, fair polices & procedures. Open Forum on criteria 3 & 4 focuses on the quality of the academic programs, qualifications of faculty, program review, availability of courses, advising, assessment of student learning, and retention. Open Forum on criterion 5 is about finances, strategic planning, future plans, and institutional effectiveness. It is the institution’s responsibility to ensure a good cross-section of constituencies at these open forums. You might consider excusing students from classes to attend, for example, or might request individuals and groups to attend particular open forums.
**For Drop-In Session: Like Open Forums, ensure these are advertised widely so everyone, students, faculty, staff, etc., know they are welcome to attend and know the purpose for these sessions. The purpose is to give opportunity to speak with team members privately – positive comments, questions, concerns.
