University of Northern Iowa Centers & Institutes Reporting

The Centers Review Committee administers the review process for university centers and institutes, in accordance with BOR Policy 3.8 Approval and Closing of New Centers & Institutes. This committee was established in 2015; membership includes a College Dean, UNI Foundation, Research and Sponsored Programs, Center Director, and a faculty or staff remember from CHAS, CSBS, CoB, and CoE. Committee members review the required annual and seven-year reports prepared by University centers that are listed with the BOR. Upon review, the Committee makes a general recommendation for a center to continue in good standing or may request a continuation review when questions or concerns arise. The reporting requirement aims to be a worth-while process to help Center leadership evaluate past successes and plan future activities. Committee members review reports received and make a recommendation to the Provost Office for centers to continue in good standing. If significant concerns are raised during the review process, the committee may request a continuation review.
