Bill Gardiner, MBA, senior associate dean for administration and finance and chief operating officer, recently served as a Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) peer evaluator. In this role, he collaborated with a team of colleagues from other institutions in conducting an on-site visit of an institution under review. The team also reviewed the institution's self-study report and accompanying evidence to ensure they were meeting the standards set forth by MSCHE.
Peer evaluators are charged with making careful judgments about the insitution’s compliance with accreditation standards outlined in MSCHE’s Standards for Accreditation, Requirements of Affiliation, policies and procedures, and applicable federal regulatory requirements within the context of the institution’s mission.
