- Presentation
Lin Holder spoke on North Central Accreditation and Semester Conversion. Holder pointed out that one NCA criterion specifically addresses institutional planning and that the this fact was one of several which precipitated establishing the Strategic Planning Committee. Holder felt that the initial NCA reports were focusses more on strengths than weaknesses of the institution. The NCA team knows that institutions have problems and so expect a balanced assessment of the institution.
- Holder felt that being on the semester calendar would facilitate our
inter-institutional relationships.
