Committee recommended that Lois take to Faculty Handbook revision committee a requirement that course syllabi include goals and objectives

Committee acknowledged that although results of assessment are available to students, many students may not be aware of their accessibility

Bill announced Adult Student Services does not assess courses because they assume respective departments do so; Certificate Programs may have assessment in place

Tom suggested College Councils should be include in list of committees charged with addressing Criterion 3; Bill suggested Faculty Senate be included

Bill announced formal charges should go to committees by September; letters of invitation from Academic Affairs to committee chairs and members will mention HLC work is ahead of them

Etta emphasized that most list of charges will include core questions of mission and future improvement

John and Etta suggested we will need to send to each committee 1) mission statement 2) list of goals 3) criteria & core components 4) charges 5) format for response (e-mail, Word); John volunteered to draft mission statement section
Sub-committees will review previous annotations to criteria core components and patterns of evidence; make list of committees to receive charges; draft charges. Hope is to have some drafts ready for 6/14 meeting.
