Academic and Administrative Program Review (Archive)

The work of the Academic and Administrative Program Review (AAPR) concluded with the release of the One ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï report. For updates on the implementation of the AAPR recommendations, visit oberlin.edu/OneÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï.

The AAPR site content is still available here for background on the process.


The Academic and Administrative Program Review (AAPR), launched in the spring of 2018 by President Carmen Twillie Ambar and ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï’s Board of Trustees, is an ambitious, comprehensive examination of ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï’s programs and activities.

AAPR seeks to address head-on the challenges facing ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï and many of the nation’s top-tier liberal arts colleges and conservatories. It provides a venue and an opportunity to build on the strengths of the college and conservatory, refocusing the entire community on what ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï distinctively offers to its students and to the world.

The 31-person AAPR steering committee includes faculty, staff, students, trustees, and alumni. In a message to the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï community, the steering committee wrote that it is committed, among other things, to a process that is authentic to ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï’s history and distinctive excellence, and broadly inclusive, tapping the full range of ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï’s wisdom, creativity and experience.

Working in cooperation with ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï’s regular governing bodies, the AAPR steering committee and its six working groups will gather a broad spectrum of data, information, perspectives, and ideas. From these resources, the steering committee will develop recommendations to be submitted to President Ambar for consideration. These recommendations will address current and future financial needs as well as areas for investment that are authentic to ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï’s mission and key to ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï’s future.

The AAPR Steering Committee welcomes your questions and thoughts via email; please send any feedback to AAPR.Feedback@oberlin.edu.
