W. Va. Code R. § 133-10-4 - Evaluative Components

4.1. Baccalaureate institutions shall integrate program review into their strategic planning and budgeting processes. This ensures each institution considers within these processes the full breadth of academic programs and the resources necessary to support them. This more effectively positions each institution to initiate changes that enhance quality and effectiveness through an objective and evidenced-based approach for making strategic decisions about critical resources in support of each institution's mission. In order to accomplish this each institution shall perform an evaluation of all academic programs at least once every five years and provide a report on the status of these programs to the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission (Commission) in a format determined by the Commission. The evaluation shall consist of, but not be limited to, the following priority core components:

4.1.1. External demand;

4.1.2. Quality of outcomes; and

4.1.3. Delivery cost.

4.2. At the discretion of the institution, it may adopt additional components to use in evaluating its academic programs, though the aforementioned criteria shall be given priority and weighted most within the institution's evaluation method.
