Nancy,
Thanks for your input. You mentioned your NCATE visit as a reason for
not doing it this year. I'm thinking our upcoming HLC visit is a good
reason not to do it this year too! :-) Especially since they want the
data by 12/15/06 and no later than 1/31/07. Yikes!

Subject: Re: Delaware Study
Larry,
I did the Delaware Study last year for the first time, and I would
estimate
it took me 10 days to do it. I used the results for only one question
to
compare the cost of two of our programs.
I'm not doing it this year because I'm knee-deep in our NCATE visit
re-accreditation visit prep. Even if I were not, I don't think I could
justify the time, although it's probably easier the second time around.
