Description
Summary:The purpose of Lake Forest College's 1986 self-study was to provide the North Central Association's Commission on Institutions of Higher Education Evaluation Team with materials needed for reaccreditation; to evaluate Lake Forest's efforts to fulfill the purposes and meet the goals established in the new mission statement; and to evaluate the system of planning and self-evaluation built into the college's governance system. Information includes a look at Lake Forest College; the new mission statement; human resources (faculty, students, and administration and staff); the academic program; educational support services and non-academic programs; marshalling the other resources of the college (institutional dynamics, financial resources and development, physical resources, and reciprocal relationship with the community); a look at the future; and findings and request (the general institutional requirements, the evaluative criteria, and request for affiliation status). Seven appendices include: publications by current members of the faculty; AAUP faculty salary data 1984-1985; college council report on minority enrollment; membership in Associated Colleges of the Midwest; pre-professional combined programs; long range planning committee report to the faculty; and budget planning preparation participant groups 1985-1986. Exhibit material available to the team during the visit is listed. (SM)
