NCA, CSU dispute evaluation date CSU has conducted a self study and after evaluation has requested the North Central Association (NCA) evaluation, currently scheduled for 1983-84 be pushed back five years. The NCA has requested a delay of two years. NCA team headed by Dr. John Flower gave reasons for their decision to postpone the next evaluation to two years instead of five. Their reasons are: 1) There had been clearly discernable progress; 2) it is in the best interest of the university to have time for reforms to be put in place and a track record achieved before the next self-study is prepared; 3) the two-year extension in no way indicates that concern for issues and problems has been minimized. The NCA's visit was to check on progress in the areas that the 1979 NCA team had recommended for improvement. Dr. Flower's team repeats and intensifies the concern of the 1979 team in respect to limitations in faculty governance and central academic leadership. CSU will be recommended by

the NCA report to enter into a consultancy to clarify academic policy making in both formulation and implementation. The team describes implementation as the basic function of administration, whereas formulation of academic policy is carried forward in the first instance by the faculty. An issue of the 1979 team was academic planning and evaluation. The team has not specifically included this issue but they did say CSU has made "logistical improvements" in recent months.
This puts the university in the position to create an evaluation and planning facility, though it has not done so at this point. The NCA team has recommended that CSU engage two consultants, a recommendation the 1979 team did not make. According to Anne Lynch this seems to signify a decline in the NCA's estimate of CSU's capacity to correct its own deficiencies. The team does not think CSU can be ready for the next evaluation until 1986. The 1979 team expected CSU to have made im-
provements in time for a comprehensive evaluation in the 1983-84 academic year. Dr. Flower's team stated that in respect to faculty governance, we had made a good start but nothing more than that. The team complimented CSU on improvements that have been made. The team stated that a golden opportunity existed for CSU to "strike some red hot irons" if administrative and faculty leadership grew closer together.
