Background
The University Assessment Committee was convened as a group of faculty
representatives to provide institutional oversight that MCG has a defined,
consistent process for its academic assessment activities. An important purpose is
to ensure institutional effectiveness measures are achieved and that the
assessment activities foster an environment of continual improvement as required
by SACS.
The committee has responded to its charge including completing an inventory of
existing academic assessment processes. The Committee identified common
assessment practices, as well as some deficiencies in existing assessments or
supporting infrastructure to the assessment processes. The committee correlated
these findings to the requirements for SACS or other discipline specific
accreditation standards to develop specific institutional level recommendations.
The committee has submitted recommendations considered minimally requisite to support an environment of continual academic assessment and quality improvement.
