Governance Issue Carried Forward from the Review of Rutgers’ Periodic Review Report of 2003 (Aspects of Standard 4)

Working Group VII

Charge
The responsibility of Working Group VII is to draft a comprehensive report of no more than 5 pages (1,260 words), plus tables, charts, and appendices, responding to its charge. Working Group VII will address a topic that is unlike the previous ones because it is not a selected topic but, rather, one raised by the Periodic Review Report of 2003 for clarification at our next reaccreditation review: issues of intercampus governance. This subject will be reviewed through a combination of document review and self-study. The committee will use document review to address overall compliance with the fundamental elements of Standard 4, while its selective self-study will respond to the specific concerns articulated by the Periodic Review Report 2003 reviewers.
