Talk To Your Accreditation Folks & More
G. Rendell, I think I know you, but I don’t know precisely who you are yet :)
If you have not already, you should find the folks on your campus who do its institutional research and planning. And also the folks who are managing, or who last managed, Greenback U’s accreditation process. They’ll have more numbers for you.
As will those who measure, manage, and plan for space usage — space management and planning.
As well, your financial people could provide some budgetary analysis which, while some might think it crass, would also give you measurables.
Someone, somewhere on your campus is very likely trying to put measures relating to all of the above, as well as student learning outcomes (SLOs) in one place, perhaps on a ‘dashboard’. Come to our conference this summer — maybe you already are — and you’ll find plenty of people doing that.
The fact that planning your way to achieving the ACUPCC goals absolutely requires comprehensive, integrated planning and the broadest possible look at your institution, is one of the many reasons that SCUP has supported the ACUPCC from its very inception.
