NEW: Assessment
Policies and Procedures – Daryl Buchholz, ECOP Chair, alerts you of two new
documents which outline policies and procedures related to assessments. This
action was necessary due to changes in procedures adopted by the Board on
Agriculture Assembly Policy Board of Directors, of which the Cooperative
Extension Section and ECOP are a part. See https://www.aplu.org/document.doc?id=4905 for Cooperative
Extension Section Assessment Policies and Procedures and https://www.aplu.org/document.doc?id=4906 for eXtension
Assessment Policies and Procedures. The SNAP-ED assessment, which
applies to participating institutions, is not addressed in these documents.
