SPECIAL MEETING - CSUS PLANNING FOR WASC
Background: One of the issues that must be addressed in the upcoming CSUS WASC review is our sense of identity as a university. It has been some time since this kind of discussion has received serious attention on this campus, so (the WASC Planning Committee) asked that the Faculty Senate and others engage in focused consideration of our mission as a university.
The plan for this process is as follows:
This is intended to be an inclusive process that will promote a sense of common purpose among the university community and also provide us with a vision of who we are and what we strive to be.
To prepare for the discussion and reflection, the WASC Planning Committee asks you to review our mission from an historical perspective. For background information, you might want to read through the two introductory sections in our Strategic Plan, namely, “Vision and Goals” and “Identity and Values”.
