Middle States Update
On January 18, 2006, the Board of Trustees authorized President J. Michael Adams and Chair of the Board Patrick J. Zenner to certify to the Middle States Association that Fairleigh Dickinson University is in compliance with the 14 standards set forth by Middle States and required for the University’s regional re-accreditation. This certification is based upon the Draft Self-study Report, prepared by the Middle States Steering Committee and more than 100 members of the University community under the direction of the co-chairs, Diane Wentworth, psychology (Flor), and Elizabeth Noonan, executive assistant to the president (Metro), and editor, Martin Green, English (Flor).
The final draft is currently being prepared for publication in February. Copies will be forwarded to the Middle States Association, to the members of the Middle States’ peer-review team and to the University community. An e-mail announcement will be made when electronic and hard copies are available.
The University will host the peer-review team on both campuses from Sunday, March 26, through Wednesday, March 29, 2006. Team members will meet with representatives of the major University constituencies during the course of their visit to determine the accuracy of the Self-study Report and to assess the University’s progress in implementing its mission. Following both oral and written reports by the team, the Commission on Higher Education, Middle States Association, will take action on the University’s re-accreditation status. That action is expected in late June 2006. The University has been continuously accredited by Middle States since 1948.
