During the Educational Effectiveness (EE) phase, the membership of the self-study Steering Committee, Sub-Committees for Core Issues 1 through 4, and the Data Portfolio were maintained and included those individuals with direct involvement in the researchable questions. Broad representation of all stakeholders was continued (CFR 1.3, 4.8). The Steering Committee and the four Core Issue Sub-Committees continued to meet monthly to receive updates on the studies that were initiated to pursue the researchable questions, while the Data Portfolio Sub-Committee met on an as needed basis. Additionally, the Sub-Committees were involved in the development of the town hall meetings that were held to further the campus conversations related to the studies (CFR 4.8). As the submission deadline for the EER approached, the Steering and the Sub-Committees reviewed the drafts of the document, providing suggestions, additional information, and edits. Input also was solicited from various campus governance committees such as the University Planning Council (UPC), Academic Affairs Council (AAC), Academic Senate Executive Committee and the full Academic Senate, the President’s Cabinet, the Divisions of Administration and Finance, Student Affairs, and University Advancement and Associated Students Incorporated (ASI). Town hall meetings were held in August and September 2007 in order to circulate the draft EER, with another scheduled for November 2007 to share the final report.
