Issues Related to Satisfying… CS 3.7.1 - The institution employs competent faculty members qualified to accomplish the mission and goals of the institution. When determining acceptable qualifications of its faculty, an institution gives primary consideration to the highest earned degree in the discipline. The institution also considers competence, effectiveness, and capacity, including, as appropriate, undergraduate and graduate degrees, related work experiences in the field, professional licensure and certifications, honors and awards, continuous documented excellence in teaching, or other demonstrated competencies and achievements that contribute to effective teaching and student learning outcomes. For all cases, the institution is responsible for justifying and documenting the qualifications of its faculty.
![Page 44: Welcome to T eaching + L earning T uesdays](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020718/568132a3550346895d99462b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Issues Related to Satisfying 3.7.1
• Inadequate information on highest degree and other relevant degrees earned
• Inadequate justification• Lack of alignment between credentials and
courses/discipline being taught• Not establishing a basis for ensuring sustained
compliance
![Page 45: Welcome to T eaching + L earning T uesdays](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020718/568132a3550346895d99462b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Other Issues Related to Compliance
• The narrative does not address each of the components of the requirement
• Information presented is not clear, concise and logically presented
• The institution does not make the case for compliance in the narrative
![Page 46: Welcome to T eaching + L earning T uesdays](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020718/568132a3550346895d99462b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Other Issues Related to Compliance
• The institution sends evaluators to the supporting documentation in the hope that they will see the case for compliance
• The information presented is insufficient
![Page 47: Welcome to T eaching + L earning T uesdays](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020718/568132a3550346895d99462b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Other Issues Related To Compliance
• The evidence provided does not sufficiently support the institution’s case for compliance because it is:– Not reliable– Not verifiable– Not current– Not objective– Not coherent – Not relevant– Not representative
![Page 48: Welcome to T eaching + L earning T uesdays](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020718/568132a3550346895d99462b/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
