NEASC CONCLUDES COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION SITE VISIT OF GODDARD COLLEGE
Six educational evaluators came to Goddard for three days the week of March 22, 2010, to conduct a Comprehensive Evaluation Site Visit for the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). The team used the Goddard self study as the key document for evaluating the College’s status, and during their time in Plainfield met with board members, staff, faculty, and students and reviewed additional materials.
The team’s exit report provided an overview of their initial assessment of Goddard’s success in addressing each of the 11 accreditation standards. In May, the visiting team finalized their report and submitted it to NEASC’s Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (CIHE) along with a confidential recommendation. The Commission will review the College’s self study, the team’s report, and the team’s recommendation, and will make a determination on the College’s continued accreditation. While the review had not yet been scheduled by NEASC, we anticipate it will happen in the fall.
