CHAPTER 13GAUGING SUCCESS

A quality college continually gauges its progress toward its goals so it can ensure that it will achieve those goals—arrive at its destinations—safely and on time or so it can make adjustments if warranted.

(See Chapter 6 for information on gauging success in ensuring your college’s health and well-being and for deploying resources effectively and efficiently.)
