It appears that the academic audit only focuses on teaching and learning. What about the other significant work faculty members do in the areas of research and service?
Yes, the initial academic audits will focus more on the teaching and learning process. Conceptually an academic audit is designed to help faculty members look at the processes their department uses that will make them more effective. Although the academic audit initially focuses on teaching and learning, we envision that it can later be expanded to address the research and service functions as well. Once in place, the processes could easily be expanded into other areas like research and scholarship where the expected outcomes are more established (e.g., papers published, grants received, etc.).
