NASULGC is “the nation’s oldest higher education association with roots going back to 1887.” Its mission is “to support high-quality public higher education and its member institutions as they perform their teaching, research, and public service roles.” NASULGC uses various forms of assessment in all of their programs and initiatives as a way of disseminating valid information to its members. For a complete listing of member institutions, visit NASULGC’s
member page.
NASULGC is broken up into ten
Councils and six
Commissions. Councils are made up of university administrators by job functions, and work on issues important to their specific job function. Commissions focus on vital issues in higher education, and may change as these issues become resolved or new ones emerge. In addition to the work done in the Councils and Commissions, NASULGC has six
Major Initiatives, which are:
- Africa-U.S. Higher Ed Collaboration Initiative
- CREATE-21
- Online Learning
- Study Abroad
- Science & Mathematics Teacher Imperative
- Voluntary System of Accountability
Assessment
The most frequent use of assessment is within Councils and Commissions to support any issues that arise in the specific area. The information gathered by doing assessment projects is then used to inform NASUGLC members to aid them in making decisions on their campuses.
