CA Research Committee Improvement Plans for Academic Year 2013
In 2012, the CA Research Committee created the CA Research Committee Plans and Implementations
Academic Year 2012 based solely on the CA Strategic Goals and Objectives No.5 Research
Problem: The QA score No.4 Research remains low because the assessment was not based on the CA
Strategic Goals and Objectives No.5 Research but on a different set of criteria (e.g. OHEC, ONESQA).
Solution: A new Research Committee Plans and Implementations Academic Year 2013 based on the CA Strategic Goals and Objectives No.5 Research, OHEC, and ONESQA Criteria No.4 Research is needed.
