The committee reviews departmental institutional effectiveness reports of academic programs and non-academic units. The committee’s work supports activities pertaining to SACSCOC standards of institutional effectiveness and does not supplant the work of existing committees with a targeted role in assessment (e.g., General Education committee) or the work of discipline-specific accreditation or program review committees.  The chairs and/or co-chairs of this committee are responsible for preparing documents and/or presentations for the pre-semester calendar.  This committee may convene during August.
