USRI Review

In November 2018, a working group of the GFC Teaching and Learning Committee (TLC) was tasked with the responsibility to review and provide recommendations on the administrative processes, data collection, and communication and education plans currently in place with the USRI.

In the fall of 2019, the USRI working group recognized that an interim change to the current USRI would help address some of the pressing issues with the questionnaire and reports. These changes are intended to improve the experience and use of the current USRI questionnaire. In the meantime, campus-wide consultations and subsequent recommendations on a new form continue to take place.
