Self-Study Steering Committee
The Self-Study Steering Committee is charged with the task of providing leadership for the Arkansas State University-Jonesboro campus community in the self-study process for reaffirmation of continued accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission in 2012-2013.
The role of the steering committee in the self-study process will be to:
- provide representation for the various constituency groups of the campus community
- promote interest and involvement in the self-study process throughout all constituencies of the campus community
- ensure that the five criteria for accreditation are appropriately addressed by the criterion subcommittees to support the production of a self-study report that is based on an evaluative format inclusive of argument and evidence; current issues, challenges and accomplishments; appropriate institutional change request(s); and areas of consultation
- carry out the self-study process with efficiency and integrity to warrant its general acceptance by the campus constituencies
- assist with the integration of the findings of the self-study with ongoing University assessment and planning so that the self-study process will have lasting significance on the institution
- serve as the primary resource group during the Higher Learning Commission site visit
