GE Program Review - November 5, 2006

The GE Program was reviewed by the following individuals:

  • Mary J. Allen, Professor Emeritus, California State University, Bakersfield (External Reviewer)
  • Trudy W. Banta, Senior Advisor to the Chancellor, Indiana University- Purdue University Indianapolis (External Reviewer)
  • Harvey Greenwald, Professor of Mathematics, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Internal Reviewer)

Excerpts from the Report:

We conducted a review of the General Education program based on the Cal Poly GE Self-Study and meetings with a variety of campus representatives. We thank Doug Keesey, Katie Tool, David Conn, and others for organizing our visit during the review and for making us feel welcome and appreciated throughout our time in San Luis Obispo.

We were able to discuss the GE program with a diverse array of campus representatives, including:

  • Provost; Vice President for Academic Programs;
  • CSM, CLA, and OCOB deans;
  • CAGR and CLA associate deans;
  • the GE Director and Assistant;
  • members of the GE Governance Committee and area committees;
  • representatives of Academic Programs,
  • Student Academic Services,
  • Institutional Planning and Analysis,
  • Academic Records, and Evaluations;
  • students representing the Associated Students Incorporated.

In addition, the campus hosted an open session for the university, and about twenty people representing both Student Affairs and Academic Affairs attended and shared opinions with us. We offer the following evaluation and recommendations, and we sincerely hope that the campus will find our conclusions useful. For the full assessment report, faculty and staff may access the Cal Poly Portal, and refer to the General Education Blackboard Site.
