Dear Members of the Hunter College Community:
I am delighted to report that the Middle States Commission on Higher Education voted on November 19th to reaffirm Hunter's accreditation. I encourage you to read the evaluation team's final report, posted below, which confirms that Hunter has met all 14 Standards of Excellence and cites so many of Hunter's significant achievements over the past ten years.
As you can see below, the Commission has asked Hunter to report back in two years on progress on the re-envisioning of the College's mission statement, the crafting and implementation of a strategic plan, and the implementation of a plan for the assessment of institutional effectiveness.
We thank you for all you have done over the past several years to contribute to Hunter's reaccreditation, and hope that you will join the administration and the Senate as we move forward to develop a strategic plan that we can all be proud of.
Sincerely,
Jennifer J. Raab
