* Periodic Progress Report-Comments Requested

• Accreditation Requirements -- In order for Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) to maintain its accreditation status in good standing, it must submit to the Middle States Association of the Commission on Higher Education (MSA), a five-year progress report. This is a requirement of all schools midway through the full 10-year approval period. In June 1993, following the University's Self Study Report, the MSA reaffirmed TJU's accreditation and thus a Periodic Progress Report is due June 1, 1998.
  
  
• Periodic Progress Report -- A draft Report has been prepared by a six-person Task Force comprising representatives from the University and its constituent Colleges. The Task Force utilized existing University structures to gather material for the report.
  
  
• Coverage of Report -- Broadly the report sets out to:
  • Highlight the accomplishments, developments and issues since the MSA site visit/self-study report of January 1993.
  • Identify plans for evaluation, development or improvement over the next 5 years.
    
    
• Request for Comments -- In order to make the draft report widely available, it will be placed on a "domain protected" web-site, as well as on hard copy within the Scott Library. The web site address, which will be open from February 16 to March 6 will be http://jeffline.tju.edu/Education/msa/msa.html
  
  Details of how to return comments will be shown on the web pages. For those of you who wish to review a hard copy, please ask at the Reserve Desk on the second floor of the Scott Library, after February 16.
