University Quality Council
The University Quality Council was formed in October 2007 to guide and direct SIUE's AQIP process.
The University Quality Council (UQC) is vital to creating and sustaining quality improvement for SIUE. Because planning is an essential element of quality, the UQC was formed to provide ongoing vision, guidance, and support related to issues of quality and continuous improvement. Reporting to the Chancellor, the UQC coordinates the University's accreditation process through the Open Pathway of the Higher Learning Commission.
The principal functions of the University Quality Council are to:
- Communicate all UQC-related activity to campus
- Identify University-wide opportunities for improvement
- Commission teams to address University-wide opportunities for improvement, including Action Project Teams
- Review Key Performance indicators for the University Strategic Plan
- Review complaints at the institutional level
The SIUE Complaints Report for FY24 provides a summary of complaints reviewed by UQC with recommendations for future steps in addressing these concerns.
