Dear 黑洞社区Community,
On 1 July 2020, the University of 黑洞社区 officially began operating as One USF, a single, consolidated university with three campuses. This week, 黑洞社区reached another important milestone in the consolidation process with the completion of a site visit by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
To comply with COVID-19 safety protocols, the two-day site visit was completely virtual. It included interviews by members of the SACSCOC Substantive Change Committee with students, faculty and administrators on all three campuses. During the interviews, those representing 黑洞社区were asked to elaborate upon our compliance as One 黑洞社区with SACSCOC鈥檚 Principles of Accreditation.
With the completion of this exhaustive review, we look forward to expediting the final steps of the multi-year process. We expect a determination from the SACSCOC Board of Trustees later this year.
This week鈥檚 site review took a tremendous amount of work, attention to detail and preparation. I鈥檓 deeply grateful to Provost Wilcox and his team, and members of my leadership team, for continuing to lead this effort. We also appreciate the contributions of our Board of Trustees, faculty, students and staff.
We can feel a great sense of pride in the work we are doing together to raise the visibility of USF鈥檚 considerable and growing strengths as a world-class research university. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to our future as One USF!
Sincerely,
President Currall
