Call to Conversation: SACS Reaffirmation St. Philip’s College September 18, 2013 Dr. Adena Williams Loston

CLASS OF 2016 REAFFIRMATION Principle of Integrity Compliance Certification Quality Enhancement Plan The Off-Site Review The On-Site Review Review by the Commission’s Board of Trustees Announcement Loston These are the components of reaffirmation. We must be successful in items 1-6 in order to hear the announcement we expect “Reaffirmation”

St. Philip’s College – Class of 2016, Track A 2013 2014 2015 2016 Loston Compliance Audit Timeline for Class of 2016, Track A. Track A includes institutions of higher learning up to a 4-yr degree We are on track and will stay on track

Compliance Certification Document Submit in March 2015 Provides judgment, narrative and evidence of the extent of compliance with Core Requirements, Comprehensive Standards and Federal Requirements Certification by chief executive officer and accreditation liaison that the “document is truthful, accurate, and complete.” Loston Non-negotiable due date MUST be our BEST WORK

Stages, Documents, and Results SPC submits Compliance Certification document Off-site Committee issues “Preliminary Findings” QEP submitted 6 weeks prior to on-site review On-site review SPC Submits Focused Report(s) On-site Committee issues “Report of the Reaffirmation Committee” Commission review SPC submits Response to Report to SACSCOC Commission issues “Action Letter” Loston This is the order in which reaffirmation happens. The “Action Letter” mentioned in #9 refers to whether we are told that we are Reaffirmed Go on monitoring Or a more serious consequence

Possible Outcomes Response Report, Reaffirmation Reaffirmation! Response Report, Monitoring, Reaffirmation Response Report, Monitoring, Warning, Reaffirmation Response Report, Monitoring, Warning, Probation, Reaffirmation Loston We intend to stay in the “light blue” - reaffirmation or, more likely response report and then reaffirmation Response Report, Monitoring, Warning, Probation, Loss of Accreditation NO FINANCIAL AID - NO FEDERAL GRANTS

Track 2010 A (47 Institutions) Off-site Review (27 standards with >25% noncompliance) CS 3.7.1 Faculty Competence—94% CS 3.5.4 Terminal Degree of Faculty—80% CS 3.3.1 I.E. Any Section—79% On-site Review (12 standards with >10% recommendations) CR 2.12 QEP—64% CS 3.7.1 Faculty Competence—47% CS 3.3.1 I.E. Any Section—43% Sides C&R Review (11 standards with >5% monitoring) CS 3.3.1 I.E. Any Section—21% CS 3.3.1.1 I.E. Educational Programs—17% CS 3.10.1 Financial Stability—15%

Common Reasons for Noncompliance Insufficient evidence Doesn’t exist Doesn’t exist yet—recently implemented Couldn’t find it Didn’t document it Poor narrative Didn’t clearly make the case Salahuddin Real issues Insufficient faculty, no I.E. process, financial instability, issues with faculty qualifications

Current Status - QEP April 2013 Input was gathered from across the institution using the QEP Topic Survey. May 2013 Student input was gathered through student organizations. May 2013 Personal Responsibility - final focus area identified at Good to Great Retreat August 2013 Faculty development addressing assessment of “personal responsibility” * QEP committee will be composed of as many individuals who volunteered as possible Cartledge
