AcknowledgementsThis report is the product of extensive work done by faculty, staff and students who spent considerable time reviewing the 2000 Middle States Self Study and the report of the Evaluation Team and then assessed the progress that Baruch had made in addressing the concerns and recommendations identified. We wish particularly to commend the Middle States Periodic Review Report Steering Committee and Working Groups who conducted the analyses and wrote the report. We also acknowledge the contributions of the Office of Institutional Research for the data and analyses they provided, which were critical to the review and the report.
