Re-Accreditation Sub-Committees

The Re-Accreditation Steering Committee will appoint members to the five subcommittees listed below. Each subcommittee will, over the next two years, write a section of Roosevelt’s self-study for re-accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The five criteria that form the basis for the subcommittees are spelled out in detail in the HLC’s publication “Restructured Expectations: A Transitional Workbook.” Each of the subcommittees will be co-chaired by a member of the Re-Accreditation Steering Committee and a member of the faculty.

    The organization operates with integrity to ensure the fulfillment of its mission through structures and processes that involve the Board, administration, faculty, staff, and students.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.
