Why are evaluators important?
Evaluators are a vital part of the peer-review process, helping to safeguard the integrity and quality of higher education. Institutions also rely on the professional judgments of evaluators, developed by consensus and with the guidance of the chair, so that the institution can continue to improve. Finally, because the Middle States Association is a non-governmental organization supported entirely by members’ dues and fees, the services of these volunteer peer evaluators in various disciplines and administrative positions enable the Commission on Higher Education to fulfill its mission.
