Roles of the Criterion Subcommittee Chairs

  • Lead your team to compare your criterion, core components, and subcomponents to UCM policy and practices.  Gather evidence that documents we meet the criterion.
  • Draft Assurance Argument for assigned criterion.
  • Schedule meetings, facilitate committee team’s work, ensure active participation from members, develop consensus from diverse perspectives.
  • Communicate regularly with Steering Committee about status of work. Inform ALO and/or Steering Committee of issues with cooperation from campus units, particularly as it pertains to identifying and closing gaps.


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.

 

Specialists

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.
