== Questions ==

=== Intro comments ===
* Thanked us for our proposal
* On paper we have not presented some of the areas that WASC uses
* Will be particularly interested in student learnings and outcomes

=== Process ===
* Theresa: what was the process that led to these three issues?  Eg, what is the campus self evaluation process and why are these the most appropriate issues?
** A: CUE came up with the topics; decided to switch graduate to undergraduate
* Where other constituencies were engaged?
** A: CUE came up with the topics
* Issues that came up previously that weren't addressed
** Diversity - A: this is an issue that is always present
** Humanities - A: this is in very good condition
* Paula: the commission will want to know what we have done against these issues

=== Outcomes assessment ===
* Outcomes assessment is very important
* Question about ABET accreditation.  RMM summarized what we been doing
* Looks like they will want some type of outcomes assessment

=== Capacity versus Effectiveness ===
* Increasing emphasis on student learning; how will two stage visit play into this
* A (Carolyn): many opportunities for students to integrate what they are learning in their classes
* Suggest that we think about the ways that we will split out capacity in first visit and effectiveness in the second

Example: student workload
* Expect we would be looking course by course to understand what students are getting out of it
* Capacity: look at structure of courses, sequencing, etc
* Assessment: figure out what specifically to look at and whether it is accomplishing what we would like

Question (by Henry): any other institutions who have looked at honor codes?
* A: not really

== Next Steps ==
* WASC will prepare a letter with fuller feedback; should go out by end of next week
