Institutional Effectiveness Committee

Committee Overview

A subcommittee of the Administrative Council

The Institutional Effectiveness Committee provides leadership for the overall direction and support of academic program and administrative unit effectiveness, assessment, and improvement. It oversees assessment and evaluation across campus to ensure integrated, meaningful, and sustained improvement, and supports the College’s commitment to establishing outcomes assessment as an ongoing and integral part of its culture and its emphasis on quality programs and services. The Committee will undertake periodic reviews of the College’s institutional mission, vision, and values to ensure they are current, accurate, and rightly calibrated. The Committee is charged with promoting the Mission of Ranger College as the primary guide in campus planning, decision-making, and resource allocation and advises and supports the President’s development and periodic review of the College’s strategic plan and initiatives. The Committee's work supports activities pertaining to SACSCOC standards of institutional effectiveness and does not supplant the work of discipline-specific accreditation or academic audit Committees.
