I'm speculating as much as anybody else on this board. But I suspect she told the board that the faculty committees were working very hard, progress was being made to assemble the minimum documentation needed to comply with SACS regulations & that the university was patching together a strategic plan that at least had a veneer of "broad-based participation" (i.e., brown-bag lunches).

Dr. Sullivan isn't paid to change the institution systemically. She's paid to patch together a fix that will address SACS' concerns.

Broader issues such as governance are going to have to wait for the next regular reaffirmation, which should crank up as soon as the probation is lifted.

Of course, nobody can really predict what the Committee on Compliance & Reports is gonna say or do. And that committee is not composed of SACS staffers but of presidents from other institutions.
