The Student Policies & Services Committee is one of seven committees that will assist NKU in conducting the self-studies necessary to prepare its Compliance Certification for SACS reaffirmation. Each committee has a different set of Core Requirements, Comprehensive Standards, and Federal Requirements on which to focus its attention.
The seven committees will do most of their work during the 2007-08 academic year with a goal of having their analyses finished by the end of spring semester 2008. The final editing of the Compliance Certification will then be done during summer 2008 so it will be ready for submission to SACS in early September.
Dr. Zebulun Davenport, interim vice president for student affairs, is chairing the Student Policies & Services Committee. He can be contacted by phone at extension 6447 or by email at davenportz1@nku.edu. The names of the other members of this committee will be posted after they are confirmed.
