More than 105 faculty and staff members will take part in evaluating 59 degree programs and 66 non-degree programs. The evaluators, many nominated by campus governance organizations, learned details of the task ahead of them during 90 minute sessions this week.<\/p>\n

Evaluators were instructed to review data provided as well as responses to a qualitative surveys before assigning scores. Each evaluator will work independently, confidentially and objectively. Evaluator groups come together to share their scores before a final submission.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a lengthy, important task,\u201d Szpyrka said during the training session. \u201cIt\u2019s important that you take the responsibility you are being given seriously and meet deadlines.\u201d<\/p>\n

Degree and non-degree program evaluators will use different data points.<\/p>\n

Evaluators for degree programs will use information such as enrollment, scholarly activity, financial information and faculty merit as well as a qualitative survey to assess scores. Evaluators for non-degree programs will review human resource and financial data in addition to qualitative survey.<\/p>\n

For degree programs, evaluations will be completed by three cross-campus teams and academic deans. Non-degree programs will be evaluated by three cross-campus teams and department executive directors.<\/p>\n

The evaluators will work independently throughout February before meeting in teams in mid-March and completing scoring by March 24 in preparation for a campus presentation April 21 and an April 29 presentation to the CU Board of Regents.<\/p>\n

Eventually, all degree and non-degree programs will be placed into one of five categories: exemplary, prominent, accomplished, strategic or needing further study.<\/p>\n

Szpyrka and Klebe emphasized that the goal of the reviews was to look toward the future and are not intended to eliminate programs or positions.<\/p>\n

Questions about the evaluations should be directed to Klebe, 255-3779, kklebe@uccs.edu<\/a>\u00a0 (degree), Szpyrka, 255-3210, sszpyrka@uccs.edu<\/a> \u00a0(non-degree)<\/p>\n
