Subject: FORUM: HLC Quality Initiative

Dear Faculty/Staff,

As part of Eastern’s reaffirmation of accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission, we must propose and carry out a Quality Initiative (QI) that can improve our institution. The project is evaluated on genuine effort, not success, and will need to be assessed in the next 2-3 years. We appreciate those who provided ideas about possible QI projects on a previous campus survey.

The QI committee has developed 3 brief proposals from which the President's Council will select one for implementation. We will be seeking faculty and staff input on each of the following proposals to assist them in this decision.

1) Diversifying EIU Faculty
2) First-year Learning Communities
3) Environmental and Institutional Sustainability

We are hosting a forum on Wednesday January 15th from 4:00-5:30 pm in the Arcola-Tuscola room of the MLK Union, where we will give a brief presentation on each project and answer questions about them. The proposals will be distributed by email in approximately 2-3 weeks. Also, a survey will be distributed electronically to all faculty/staff immediately after the meeting to provide input on each QI’s strengths and weaknesses and well as determine overall support and interest in each of the projects. Please mark your calendars now!

Thank you,

QIP Committee
