Mission, Governance, and Administration Committee
This committee reviewed not only UT Dallas' compliance with the SACSCOC Principles, but also the UT System Board of Regents' compliance. Both the UT System and the Board of Regents played an integral role in UT Dallas' operation, and to the extent they provided the framework for UT Dallas' performance, their performance was also a factor. Additionally, this committee reviewed UT Dallas' mission statement, how that mission statement translated into action, and the role of the faculty and the administrative staff in leading the institution.
