A visiting team from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the university's regional accrediting agency, was on campus last week and met with small groups to address specific issues from the Special Visit Report, reports Robert Cooper, associate vice president of undergraduate studies. The team also considered e-mail input from the campus community. "Thanks to all who participated in the WASC visit," says Cooper." It is a vital part of our collective efforts to ensure that higher education engages in continuous self-reflection, assessment and improvement." For more on WASC, see http://www.sjsu.edu/wasc/.
