In September 1994, the New Mexico Commission on Higher Education issued standards for the State Postsecondary Reporting Entity (SPRE). To comply with these standards, New Mexico State University-Alamogordo (NMSU-A) decided to use its integrated Assessment and Strategic Planning (IASP) process, developed during a pre-accreditation self-study in 1993. In developing the IASP, the college decided that planning and assessment should be closely based on its mission and purpose statements, while the design and implementation of the IASP included faculty, staff, and student involvement. Since its original implementation, the IASP has led to revisions of syllabi and course content, more effective counseling services for at risk students, reallocation of campus financial resources, and greater attention towards issues related to the Americans with Disabilities and Student Right to Know and Campus Security Acts. To respond to the new SPRE standards, the IASP committee developed the SPRE Compliance Matrix, listing significant outcomes and accountability measures associated with external entities. The matrix has served as the basis for developing outcomes assessment data instruments, research questions, implementation schedules, and operating procedures. The IASP process has proven to be very effective in driving positive change at NMSU-A. (The SPRE Compliance Matrix is appended.) (TGI)
