2005 HLC Self-Study Steering Committee
Review of March 3, 2005 Meeting

Members Present: Barbara Bushman, John Catau, Bill Cheek, Tom Dicke, Sue George, Tammy Jahnke, Martha Kirker, Etta Madden, Victor Matthews, Roger Sell, Don Simpson, and GA Linda Rogers.

The steering committee met at 9:30 a.m., Thursday, March 3rd at the ADC Office.

The committee briefly discussed ways that both the Missouri State University name change and the naming of a new president might impact the report to the HLC. Though both will be mentioned in the report and incorporated into commentary on positive and progressive changes at the University, neither issue will be emphasized heavily.

The committee had read reports from the ADC, UPAC, Assessment Council, Gen Ed, and Student Affairs for this week’s meeting. All five reports are perceived as being very strong and will be strong assets when preparing the final report. The fact that some of them included the names of all the persons involved in preparing the report was seen as a nice touch, and one that should be duplicated in as many reports as possible. When the request goes out for links to be added to reports, we can ask for the names of these people as well.

Issues from the five reports that will be incorporated into the final report include:

Before next week’s meeting, Bill will send out more reports for review. The committee will meet on Thursday, March 10 at 9:30 a.m. in the ADC.

Respectfully submitted,
Linda Chadwick-Rogers
