PORTALES--The College of Education and Technology at Eastern New
Mexico University is scheduled for a spring 2004 continuing accreditation
review by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
(NCATE). Federal regulations require that accrediting agencies allow for
public comment on the qualifications of institutions under consideration for
continuing accreditation.
Both NCATE and ENMU recognize graduates, parents, schools, and
community organizations have valuable perspectives on the quality of the
programs that prepare teachers and other school personnel. ENMU invites
interested parties to submit written testimony on the College of Education
and Technology to: Board of Examiners, NCATE, 2010 Massachusetts Avenue NW,
Suite 500, Washington, DC 20036-1023 or by e-mail to
callforcomments@ncate.org <mailto:callforcomments@ncate.org> .
Comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of
professional education programs offered at ENMU, and should specify the
respondent's relationship, if any, to the institution (i.e. graduate,
present or former faculty member, employer of graduates). Copies of all
correspondence received will be sent to ENMU for comment prior to the
review. No anonymous testimony will be considered.
Letters of comment should be received no later than three months
prior to the scheduled review. For more information, contact Dr. Steven
Russell, dean of the College of Education and Technology at ENMU, at
505-562-2443.
