It is entirely possible that the IE Committee has the most difficult job of any group within the SACS team. This committee must determine the degree to which UTD is actually effective in its work and to which UTD displays institutional integrity. The difficulty in such a determination is in defining the standards, in identifying how our measures of effectiveness relate to achievement and to performance.

Led by Executive Director Lawrence Redlinger, this committee must review program assessment plans as well as program mission statements to determine the degree to which all campus programs and departments have aligned their missions with the university’s mission statement.
