Outcome Number: 6 (meeting with outcome 1, Dave Klamen, Chair)
Outcome (2005): Within the context of our unique identity, IU Northwest will have a shared understanding of the measurable characteristics that identity excellence in any academic program or support service.
(2010) IU Northwest sets priorities and allocates resources to academically excellent programs and services that clearly foster sustainable regional vitality and/or cultural discovery and learning.
2005 Deliverables: 1) A set of (qualitative and quantitative) measurable characteristics that exemplify excellence in programs and support services that are sustainable on a campus like ours; 2) Written reports from academic and support units that demonstrate their understanding of these characteristics for excellence to foster our unique identity in sustainable regional vitality and cultural discovery and learning.
February 13, 2006 statement from Chancellor Bergland: This work led by Patti Lundberg has produced, along with the work on Outcome #1, a document defining excellence and then, specifically for Outcome #6, a set of measurable characteristics that exemplify excellence. Also reports from academic and support units that demonstrate their understanding of these characteristics have been determined. The work submitted has been reviewed by the Cabinet and accepted with approval.
