Standard 11:  Integrity

Action Plan

The committee for Standard Eleven:  Integrity has met and divided itself into working groups to address each of the sub sections in Standard Eleven.   The groups and their topics are outlined below. 

Data Collection:  Each group will gather the data related to its sub section by examining the laws that pertain to CCSU’s various operations, resolutions and policies passed by the Board of Trustees for CSU, CSU’s policies, CSU’s contractual commitments such as collective bargaining agreements, CCSU’s mission statement, CCSU’s policies and practices and CCSU’s contractual commitments.   As applicable, groups will also seek relevant data from existing data compilations such as CCSU’s Affirmative Action Plan and the responses to the Student Satisfaction Inventory survey.  Other data collection points will be identified as data collection proceeds.  The Standard Eleven Committee plans to collect additional data by submitting questions for the overall campus survey.

Communication:  The Standard Eleven Committee will set up a shared folder on CCSU’s campus network so that each working group may share its data and draft reports.

Timeline:  The next meeting of the Standard Eleven Committee will be on April 26^th at which time the various working groups will report on their progress and post their data in the shared folder.   Prior to the end of the academic semester on May 19, 2007, each group will have submitted a draft report on its findings.   Over the summer, these drafts will be polished and merged into a draft of the Description section of the Standard Eleven Committee’s report, ready for submission on August 31, 2007.
