The compliance audit for the SACS accreditation process is finally complete after two and one half years of work, said Dr. Dalton Bigbee, associate vice president for academic affairs and support services. Bigbee and Dr. Rumaldo Z. Juarez, university president, signed off on the compliance certification before it was mailed to SACS and to members of the off-site review committee. He said more than 200 members of the university community worked many hours to complete the compliance audits, examining every major facet of the university for compliance with SACS accreditation principles. Bigbee said the off-site team will review the audit and prepare a report by November. In April, an on-site team will visit the campus. |
