Preparations are underway for YSU’s 10-year reaccreditation review by the Higher Learning Commission, led by a 17-member steering committee that began meeting in the summer. “This is an extensive and crucial review of all university operations,” Provost Martin Abraham said. “It’s also an opportunity to share our successes and learn where and how we can get better.” In all, more than 100 individuals – faculty, staff, students and administrators – will be directly involved in the process, said Kevin Ball, associate provost and head of the steering committee.
