The groups and individuals at UNC who have guided preparation thus far:
University-Wide Self-Study Steering Committee
The university-wide Self-Study Steering Committee has offered oversight
of the HLC preparation since March 2002. The Steering Committee played
essential roles in the design of the process, in collection of information
for reports, and in revision of reports. The Steering Committee decided
to adopt the new criteria rather than use the preceding criteria, which
are being phased out gradually by HLC. Composition of the Steering Committee
has remained stable since 2002; a few replacements and additions have
been made to broaden representation and replace faculty and staff after
departures and re-organizations within the University. Membership on the
Self-Study Steering Committee is as follows:
