In 2014, the University administration assembled a steering committee and standards committee, comprised of faculty, administrators, and staff to develop a self-study. The standards committee was designed off of the 2011 standards of accreditation. Following the submission of draft standards, the steering committee compiled the drafts and edited the document to form a single narrative voice. Upon completion in early 2016, the steering committee reformatted the draft to meet the 2016 standards.
