- HLC Peer-Review Team Report, April 2008
The HLC Consultant-Evaluator team report of its onsite comprehensive evaluation visit contains two sections, the Assurance Section and the Advancement Section.
The Assurance Section presents the team’s evaluation of the level of effectiveness that MSSU meets the 5 Criteria for Accreditation. The recommendations in that section represent mandates that the university is expected to implement and future peer-review teams will evaluate. Also, that section contains the team’s recommendations to HLC with respect to the university’s continued accreditation status.
The Advancement Section provides the university with advice on topics that the team had been requested to analyze. Missouri Southern is free to either implement or ignore the counsel.
