a. SACS Response update – Mr. Pugh Mr. Pugh emphasized that the SACS response that is to be submitted by April 2004 was only a progress report of how the colleges within the consortium are measuring attainment of the identified items. He felt that a unified response would not be necessary, as each college will identify how they were ensuring compliance in the identified areas. The community college presidents will make the final decision on the April follow-ups and the need for a unified response.
