A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:
Each individual reviewed aspects of Butler's report based on expertise. Individuals used the STARS review template and identified issues in a first review. Issues were then discussed with CUES Assistant Director, Jamie Valentine, who made needed changes. A second round of reviews was done on these identified questions to verify changes were sufficient. Each reviewer was sent an affirmation statement for them to sign.
