Assurance argument posted online
As part of the reaccreditation process, Iowa State submits an assurance argument to demonstrate how the university is meeting the commission’s criteria for accreditation in five areas:
- Mission
- Integrity: ethical and responsible conduct
- Teaching and learning: Quality, resources and support
- Teaching and learning: Evaluation and improvement
- Resources, planning and institutional effectiveness
Students, faculty, staff and the general public may access the assurance argument online.
