University of Montana Council drafts new ‘core themes’

Improving retention rates and emphasizing global education will be among The University of Montana’s primary goals in coming years, Associate Provost Arlene Walker-Andrews told faculty and students at a University Council meeting Tuesday.

Walker-Andrews gave a presentation on recent changes to the accreditation process UM will undergo. Instead of reporting to the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities every 10 years, UM administrators will begin biannual check-ins with the commission as part of a seven-year accreditation cycle.

The first report since the changes requires an outline of UM’s "core themes," which Walker-Andrews and President Royce Engstrom outlined Tuesday.
