Process and changes • DCW first time in 2014 • Develop list of recommendations • Membership review & comment • PR make final decision • Reduced core • Freedom to choose modules • Archiving and historical trail of changes from 2010 forward: finalizing
The core is shrinking: Believe it or not! Not counting 2nd major section
SERU AAUFreedom to choose: Meant modules still used (11 schools in 2014)
2015-2016 Outline • Principles • Minimal changes to core for 2015 • Reviewed survey and reps concerns from 2014 administration • Mobile friendly survey for 2016 • Replacement or supplement? Pilots? • Regardless; need to address item types and length • Identify items of institutional improvement and focus items for research aligned with a yearly research agenda
Even if not perfect….. • Agreement: once major revisions occur will maintain core for a set period of time (x years). • Stability/comparability: longitudinal analyses, especially true when not all institutions administer every year • Reduce costs: programming and data base management
