Faculty Ownership of Assessment

An InsideHigherEd.com article recently described two current points of consensus in measuring student learning outcomes in higher education.  One is that faculty are not engaged enough in institutional assessment.  The other is that without real faculty involvement in assessment, the measures are meaningless.  What a conundrum for the assessment world.  The article explores several recent articles and reports on this disparity and what it means for our colleges and universities.  The comments that readers have made so far are great at showing the difference in opinions ob this topic.
