Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Next Steps
What has been learned about the College through the Institutional Self-Evaluation Report (ISER)? Are there any Standards where we might expect core inquiries to surface from the peer review team? Are there any Standards for which we anticipate commendations? Adam Karp and Bill Simpson
The college utilizes Program Review as a means for programs to reflect on their outcomes and plan for the future. How can the college better support programs going through the Program Review process and consequently advance the goals of the college? Janay Lovering Challenges:
- faculty can not understand their data (need for PD and Research time)
- faculty can not get research requests processed in a timely manner (the college is down one researcher and the research department is pulled to other projects during key PR times)

Suggestions:
- outside consultants to look at data and program itself
- better manage the Research department to respond to reviewer’s needs
- get Deans on board with the process in a collaborative (not punitive) way


Per ARC's governance process, councils are chartered for a period of 3 years. What input does the Institutional Effectiveness Council have for renewing its 2018-2021 charter? Adam Karp The Charter document was shared with Council members in Google Docs to go over and provide feedback. Deadline to work on it is 12/01/21. We will format a new draft to send to ELT for the December meeting.
