In my last message about UAF expedited academic program reviews, I shared our review process and timeline, and the list of programs and departments under review. All of this information is now posted on the expedited review website. In addition, this website now includes the name of the review committee members. 

Some of the questions that have come up indicate a confusion about the roles of the Statewide academic reviews (now suspended) and UAF’s expedited academic program reviews. The Board of Regents voted to suspend the Statewide academic reviews that were underway, but in the same meeting they instructed the chancellors to proceed with expedited reviews at each of the three universities. 

We have posted an FAQ sheet with responses to this and other questions. Should you have questions or feedback about the process, please contact Michelle Strickland, accreditation and assessment coordinator, at mastrickland@alaska.edu.
