university on the move,
Long Island University is committed to providing “excellence
and access” in private higher education to students of all backgrounds.
The University has been continually accredited by the Middle States
Commission on Higher Education since 1955, and many of its academic
programs are also recognized or accredited by specialized agencies
and professional associations. Its last decennial Middle States
review was conducted in 1993, and its accreditation status was most
recently reaffirmed by the Middle States Commission in 1998. The ten-year
period since the institution’s last Middle States decennial review
in 1993 has been a time characterized both by a high degree of stability
in vision and leadership and by significant improvement in programs
and facilities.
Drawing from the University’s revised mission and vision statements
developed during the early stages of the Self-Study process, the University-wide
Steering Committee selected “Excellence and Access” as the
theme of the Self-Study. Much more than a motto, this theme
reflects the mission and core values of the institution across all
of its campuses and programs. It provided the ultimate standard
against which the University judged its success and progress and identified
opportunities for improvement and advancement.
The Self-Study process was conducted over a period of almost two years
and involved extensive participation by dozens of committees, subcommittees
and task forces comprising several hundred faculty members, administrators,
trustees, students, alumni and community members. The process
was overseen by a 47-member University-wide Middle States Steering
Committee, co-chaired by the Vice President for Academic Affairs and
the Vice President for Information Systems & University Planning
and including the leadership of the several Campus Accreditation Review
committees.
The University is committed to continuing its service to higher education
and looks forward to providing even greater educational opportunities
to its students in the future. It acknowledges the work that
remains to be done, accepts the challenges that have been identified,
and is excited about what Long Island University will achieve in the
years ahead.
The University's
2002/2003 Middle States Decennial Self-Study
is now available for public review.
