The PRR is comprised
of a retrospective, current, and prospective analysis. The retrospective and current analysis covers
the timeframe 2007-08 through May 2012 and should be guided by the current
Middle States standards. The prospective
portion of the document presents analysis of what we believe to be important
opportunities and challenges for the University. The completion of the PRR report
is a critical preparatory step for our next decennial accreditation visit in
2018.

Charge: Although
not a formal representative body, the University Governance Council (the
Council) plays an important role in governance at the University of Scranton. Formed in response to concerns regarding lack of communication between the University's representative governing bodies(1), the
Council serves as a coordinating structure to receive and distribute policy
proposals to each of the three representative bodies. The group also provides a
forum to ensure the three governing bodies - Faculty Senate, Staff Senate, and
Student Government - have ample opportunity to discuss policy initiatives with one
another and forward comments and/or recommendations to the President's Cabinet, the chief policy and decision‐making
body of the University. The Council is also the primary conduit for policy
initiatives coming from the Cabinet to the governing
bodies(2).
The University
Governance Council is comprised of representatives from each of the three
representative governing bodies. These representatives are the four officers of
the bodies or their designates; total membership on the Council shall not
exceed 12 persons. In addition to this number, the Council has an administrative
liaison to the Cabinet, the Vice President for Planning
& CIO, the University administrator with responsibility for governance. The liaison is charged with carrying the Council's feedback
on policy deliberations to the Cabinet, and conveying
information from the Conference to the Council. The liaison serves as the
convener of the Council, calling meetings according to the Council's schedule.
