Compliance Certification Report

Comprehensive Standard 3.4.13 - Qualified academicians are responsible for degree programs

For each major in a degree program, the institution assigns responsibility for program coordination, as well as for curriculum development and review, to persons academically qualified in the field. In those degree programs for which the institution does not identify a major, this requirement applies to a curricular area or concentration.

Judgment of Compliance

Davidson College is in compliance with Comprehensive Standard 3.4.13.

Rationale for Judgment of Compliance

As per the Faculty Handbook, the first responsibility of a department chair is to direct the academic program of the department.  Each department chair is a tenured member of the faculty.  Concentrations are directed by faculty liaisons; each faculty liaison is a tenured or tenure-track member of the faculty.  All of these individuals have obtained a terminal degree in the appropriate disciplines. Curriculum Vitae for chairs and faculty liaisons may be accessed below.
