Roles of the Criterion Subcommittee Chairs
Criterion Team Members
Criterion Subcommittee Members will be selected to include a balance of those who
have knowledge of the areas covered by a criterion and diversity in perspectives.
Team members should be able to work collaboratively, to consider evidence thoughtfully
and critically, to follow through with assignments or tasks, and to objectively interpret
findings. Subcommittee Teams will include both faculty and staff members, with some
teams including Board of Governors members or other external members. Team members
should work with their supervisor or department chair to ensure that work on the team
can be accommodated; supervisors will be made aware that there is an institutional
commitment to the Assurance Argument process.
Communication Committee Members
The Communication Committee will be responsible for planning and execution of communicating
all aspects of the Comprehensive Evaluation to the UCM Community. This may include
developing a UCM/HLC webpage, writing and distributing press releases, updating the
community on efforts that have resulted from the process, informing and reminding
students, faculty, and staff of the mission statement, vision statement, and statement
of core values, and other duties as necessary.
Determining the best evidence to support each criterion, component and subcomponent in the Assurance Argument will require knowledge and information across the institution. Specialists are individuals who possess specific knowledge and information that will likely be needed by one or more Criterion Teams. Specialists will be contacted on an as-needed basis to provide information, data, and/or documents.
