SACS gets a Back Channel

Last year's tweets from the SACS/COC December meeting were almost non-existent. That has been remedied this year thanks to contributions from several indefatigable tweeters. You can see them at http://twitter.com/search?q=%23sacs.


I have notes to write up and post here, but will have to wait until the weekend. The big news for me was that Coker's Fifth Year report sailed through with no recommendations. Congrats to Kaye and Pat and Daniel and everyone I don't know about who made that happen.

Here's a gem I found in the resource room, while picking over the 3.3.1 sections (paraphrased):
Objective: 60% of the students taking the test will be in the 100th percentile
I know what they meant, but I got a good laugh out of it. It puts Lake Wobegon to shame!

SACS 2010

I'm off to Louisville tomorrow morning for the December SACS meeting. Last year's backchannel was about zilch, and it looks like #SACS means something in another context, judging from the Twitter search for #SACS. I'll tweet to #SACS anyway, from my phone or iPad. Send me an email if you want to have a coffee and compare notes.
