How will CEA data be compiled, evaluated and used?
A. The General Education program is subject to program review just as is any department or other academic program, and the Council’s main purpose in collecting CEA data is to be able to use it in that context. The GEC Area Committees, which are made up of faculty representing the relevant departments and programs, will also look at CEA data during their review of particular general education courses to help them in determining whether or not those courses as taught continue to meet the goals of general education. Individual departments and programs may be interested in using the data for their own program reviews. The data are not intended for use in the evaluation of faculty performance.
