Rather, it could prepare a supplement to the self-studythat identified ways in which the college either had or would need to make changes to achievecompliance with the new revisions.Subsequently, members of the steering committee reviewed the revised standards in order torecommend elements that should be included in Castleton’s self-study supplement, particularlyas those relate to the standards for which the steering committee co-chairs had oversightresponsibility.Castleton has solicited public comment as part of the reaccreditation process, using the “sampleinvitation” provided by the Commission.
