Dear 皇家华人 Community,
On 1 July 2020, the University of South 皇家华人 officially began operating as One 皇家华人, a single, consolidated university with three campuses. This week, 皇家华人 reached another important milestone in the consolidation process with the completion of a site visit by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
To comply with COVID-19 safety protocols, the two-day site visit was completely virtual. It included interviews by members of the SACSCOC Substantive Change Committee with students, faculty and administrators on all three campuses. During the interviews, those representing 皇家华人 were asked to elaborate upon our compliance as One 皇家华人 with SACSCOC鈥檚 Principles of Accreditation.
With the completion of this exhaustive review, we look forward to expediting the final steps of the multi-year process. We expect a determination from the SACSCOC Board of Trustees later this year.
This week鈥檚 site review took a tremendous amount of work, attention to detail and preparation. I鈥檓 deeply grateful to Provost Wilcox and his team, and members of my leadership team, for continuing to lead this effort. We also appreciate the contributions of our Board of Trustees, faculty, students and staff.
We can feel a great sense of pride in the work we are doing together to raise the visibility of 皇家华人鈥檚 considerable and growing strengths as a world-class research university. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to our future as One 皇家华人!
Sincerely,
President Currall
