10. NWCCU Commendations(DRAFT Report, October 31, 2013) 1. The evaluators commend MSUB on creating an environment in which shared governance is valued in the University culture. Faculty, staff, and students alike appreciate the collegial approach to and involvement in planning, sharing, and supporting the mission of the University. 2. The evaluators commend MSUB on the integration of facilities, infrastructure, and information technology in the Discovering the MSUB Advantage, Strategic Plan 2013-18. This integration assures alignment of critical infrastructure with the mission, programs, and services of the University.

11. NWCCU Recommendations(DRAFT Report - October 31, 2013)1.While noting that MSUB has a widely published mission statement and that work is progressing on the core theme indicators, evaluators did not find evidence that targets have been consistently identified for the core theme indicators. The evaluation committee recommends that MSUB continue to refine targets for the indicators of performance for the core themes as it evaluates the accomplishment of its core theme objectives, achievement of its strategic plan, and mission fulfillment 2. While the evaluation team found that MSUB has defined policies and procedures for human resources, there are inconsistencies in the application of practices and the use of assessment information to assure sufficient staffing, clarity of job duties and responsibilities, and regular evaluation of administrators. The evaluation committee recommends that MSUB fully and consistently implement human resources procedures to assure that the resources and capacity are consistent with the MSUB mission, programs and services, and the strategic plan.
