The Steering Committee met this week and discussed the following topics: We will not be fully implementing the separate assessor role until we have scaled our inaugural Flex programs. There is a dependency for programs to be HLC approved in order to make it into the 2025 AY catalog. Currently only Project Management has been approved by HLC. In order to not delay other inaugural programs from launching in AY 25, alternatives (such as a catalog addendum) are being explored.
