The Capacity and Preparatory Review (CPR) is designed to enable the Commission to determine whether an institution fulfills the Core Commitment of Institutional Capacity:The institution functions with clear purposes, high levels of institutional integrity, fiscal stability, and organizational structures and processes to fulfill its purposes.The Core Commitment to Institutional Capacity enables the institution to consider resource issues from a holistic perspective and to consider capacity as an institutional attribute beyond minimum compliance and a review of assets. CSU, Chico intends to use its Capacity and Preparatory Review as a vehicle to formalize ongoing efforts to move towards the development of an electronic, Web-based performance-measurement system. More specifically, we plan to review / reaffirm the critical success factors for each of the strategic priorities in the Strategic Plan and develop the infrastructure to use pbviews as the reporting system for the performance measurement system.
