17 Why must the mission be vetted?

18 Why must the mission be vetted? Ensuring Fulfillment of AC Board Policy: 1. A broad representation of the College stakeholders should have input regarding the mission to be sure that it represents AC. Ensuring Fulfillment of SACSCOC Requirements: 2. Mission must include EVERYTHING (e.g. instruction and public service) that AC is doing to serve all of its stakeholders (i.e. students, community, employees, Board of Regents, etc.)

Once the mission is used, results from these effectiveness indicators must be produced regularly, used systematically in making decisions, and reported publicly.
