Middle States Re-accreditation Process Approaches Final Steps
With the completion of the Self-study Report and the review of the Middle States Peer Evaluation Team now over, the University enters the final phase of the re-accreditation process.
Over the next several weeks the finalized, written Team Report will be submitted to the University and to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The report will closely follow the oral report presented by the team to members of the Board of Trustees and the administration, as well as the Middle States Steering Committee and the executive committees of the Faculty Senate and Professional Administrative Senate (PAS) on March 29. In its report, the team indicated that the University met all 14 of the Standards of Excellence, a requirement for re-accreditation.
The Commission will meet in June 2006 to consider Fairleigh Dickinson University’s application for re-accreditation. They will review portions of the Self-study Report and the evaluation team’s written report and will meet with James Harris, team chair and president of Widener University, who will present the team’s recommendation regarding the University’s bid for re-accreditation. The University will be notified in late June/early July of the commission’s action. President J. Michael Adams will subsequently notify the community. “Given the positive nature of the team’s report, I am optimistic that the commission will fully renew the University’s status of accreditation,” Adams indicated following the Peer Evaluation Team’s oral report.
