Council of Program Review

University of Hawai'i Executive Policy E5.202 provides for the periodic examination by faculty and administration to determine the extent to which established academic programs are meeting their objectives and if these objectives remain relevant to the missions of the campus, unit and University.

Together with the Associate Dean of the Graduate Division, the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs serves as Co-Chairperson of the Council on Program Reviews (COPR), a campus-wide body established to provide coordination and continuity for this peer review process.
