  • Structure approved with some decision to be made regarding scoring.

  • Working group campuses to complete assessments first for use with recruiting other campuses

  • Strong consideration for in-person meetings with each campus to discuss evaluation? Consideration made for working group members to split up campus interviews.

State gov docs update

Erik

  • What is the state planning regarding developments of electronic only government documentation?

  • State publications suspending shipments of documents during quarantine and sending electronic documents instead, but not yet taking responsibility to offer online access in perpetuity. For now, campus depositories must decide how to give access until physical document deliveries are resumed. Some consideration may be required for the appropriateness of the CSU Digital Archives to serve electronic-only documents.

  • For documents available online, URLs could be added to catalog records for access.
