2005 HLC Self-Study Steering Committee
Review of March 17, 2005 Meeting

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

The steering committee met at 9:30 a.m., Thursday, March 17th at the ADC Office.

Copies of the draft of the committee’s response to the concerns from the 1995 site visit were made available to the committee. Members are asked to supply additional information or make suggestions for corrections, and send their comments to Etta

Per the assignments that Bill sent out the previous week, the group divided into 3 sub-committees at this week’s meeting, each dealing with one of the cross-cutting themes of the HLC – the Learning-Focused Organization, the Connected Organization, and the Distinctive Organization. (The Future-Oriented Organization will be taken up at a later time.) The groups are each charged with gathering the examples of evidence that support their specific theme from department and committee responses and other documentation, linking these examples to their corresponding Criteria and Core Components, and organizing them for submission to the writing committee. Each group developed a plan of action for their members and began work on the process. In order for the evidence to be compiled within the next three weeks, the committee will meet throughout the Spring Break period at the regularly scheduled time.

The committee will meet on Thursday, March 24 at 9:30 a.m. in the ADC.

Respectfully submitted,
Linda Chadwick-Rogers
