Review findings disputed

A entry-year committee overviews a teacher in their first year of teaching, and has one faculty member from the university the teacher graduated from. Sitting on two first-year committees equals one hour of teaching load.

Elsner said all of CSU's programs were approved by the State Department of Education in their visit, although the area of staff development will be re-examined sometime in the future.
The national accreditation board is primarily concerned with the school's resources to teach while the state accreditation board focuses on specific courses of
