by the university-wide planning process; instructional input, processes and outcomes; student
clientele and their needs; current programs, services, and the adequacy of resources; the quality of human
resources; and establishment of a framework for the continual future assessment of institutional outcomes. A
special study implies that Bloomsburg University will also be evaluated in all areas that would be covered by
the usual review of the institution. 1 have been working closely over the past year with the Outcomes
Assessment Committee headed by Dr. Mark Melnychuk. The committee has been identifying ways of
evaluating our general education program. We have also been assessing writing competencies by collecting
writing samples from incoming freshmen during the summers of 1987 and 1988. The 1987 samples are
currently being evaluated. Other areas such as computer literacy are also being explored. All of these efforts
in academic affairs will eventually be incorporated with institutional assessment in all of the vice presidential
areas through the University Wide Assessment Task Force which is chaired by Dr. Ausprich.

Bloomsburg University has been and continues to be committed to the fundamental values and
freedom of expression and open access to diverse ideas, opinions, and points of view. We
encourage ongoing dialogues on issues of concern to the university community and society in general.
These values are central to the institution's educational mission, v^hich states: "it is a goal of the
university to integrate academic programs, cultural activities, and interpersonal relations to promote
intellectual growth and social responsibility among its students. The university seeks to extend the
academic environment from the classroom into other student activities. It strives to foster openness in
communication and involvement in decision making through a participatory govcmnance structure. The
university community is committed to the principles of persor\al and academic freedom in the the
framework of ethical responsibility."
