Dear Colleagues,
I write to share with you the final report prepared by the evaluation team sent by our regional accreditor, the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE), to visit our universities, Law School, and System as a whole earlier this fall. In keeping with my commitment to transparency in all facets of our collective work under unified accreditation, the report will also be posted publicly in the 2022 Historical Documentation section of the University of Maine System Unified Accreditation website.
I expect to receive an invitation shortly to meet with the Commission at one of its Spring 2023 meetings to discuss the report with the commissioners and with the chair of the fall evaluation team, President Ross Gittell of Bryant University. A letter from the Commission summarizing their findings and providing future direction will be sent to me and to University of Maine System Board of Trustees Chair Trish Riley soon thereafter and shared with you in a message like this one.
Thank you for your continuing engagement in this important process.
