In 1990, the Illinois State Board of Higher Education adopted a comprehensive set of 32 policy statements designed to improve undergraduate education. The policies address the improvement of student preparation for, access to, and retention in colleges and universities; improvement of student achievement, scholarship, and general education during undergraduate education; the improvement of student transfer and program articulation among colleges and universities; and the improvement of policies, procedures, and conditions affecting faculty members in order to promote excellence in teaching. This report reviews the status of implementation of the policies in each of these four areas, as well as the statewide processes for their implementation. A chart is included that outlines the efforts to improve the quality of undergraduate education at entry, during the undergraduate experience, and at graduation. (GLR)
