SACS-COC Self-Study Steering Committee Meeting

November 10, 2000

1) SACS approved our proposal on October 30, 2000
2) October 23rd meeting debrief. We discussed concerns raised by both the lack of questions from committee members and the feelings from committee members that the presentations hadn't meet their expectations. 
3) Research Questions and Data Sources: We discussed current efforts by committees to develop specific questions that they felt they needed answered before they could make specific recommendations regarding changes in their assigned areas. We also noted the need to identify data sources, some of which include studies conducted by Marty Wilder's operation, and the senior exit survey conducted by Roy Weinstock's office. We discussed some of the questions that are going to be critical in our making recommendations, e.g. finances, academic autonomy, administrative structure. We also discussed the constraints on our recommendations: e.g. Finances, SCHEV and SACS criteria.
4) Revisions to the website: At Ernie Ackermann's recommendation, our website has undergone a major up-grade. With the assistance of Webmaster Sharon Palmatory, it is also available through a simpler and more aptly named url:  http://www.umw.edu/mwc_sacs/ The new url will be used in an article that will appear in MWC Today, inviting alumni to sign on and join the discussion.
5) Action items: Larry is to draft some sample questions as examples for the committees.
