Over the past year, members of the college community have been working to address the concerns raised by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education when its team visited the campus last spring as part of the reaccreditation process. While the college met 13 of the 14 Standards for accreditation, it did not meet Standard 7, Institutional Assessment. As a result, Hudson Valley Community College was placed on warning by the Commission.
On March 11-13, a small team from Middle States visited the campus to assess the college’s progress in meeting the Institutional Assessment standard. They concluded that the college now met the standard.
I am very pleased to report that at its meeting on June 25, the Commission officially voted “To remove the warning because the institution is now in compliance with Standard 7 (Institutional Assessment) and to reaffirm accreditation.” The Commission also requested another monitoring report (due March 1, 2016) and indicated that a small team visit will follow submission of this report.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire college community for all their efforts over the past year to ensure that the Commission’s concerns about Institutional Assessment were addressed, especially the members of the Assessment and Institutional Effectiveness Committee for their extraordinary dedication and hard work.
