The state building commission needs to be involved from the beginning because we are a state institution. The main issue is concerning quality when the state does not have oversight in a project. Dr. Stacy stated that this would be rectified. Provost Dr. Berry commented that SACS is basically over, and again thanks to everyone for getting us ready. We did receive recommendations but it is not clear at this point as to how many.
Resources are a big issue and documentation is another.
This includes what we should have been doing rather than what we have been doing. An example is in documenting faculty credentials. We need to correct this before May when most faculty are gone for the summer. Another issue is not documenting outcome assessment in SACS terms until a few years ago. We need another cycle of data using outcome assessment.
