W-SARA Regional Steering Committee (RSC)
A coordinated regional approach to the state-level administration of SARA
The W-SARA RSC’s key functions include evaluating and determining whether WICHE states and territories that apply to and participate in SARA demonstrate adequate capacity and sufficient standards for membership and oversight of institutions under SARA. The RSC also serves as a regional platform for the consideration of emerging SARA- and distance education-related issues, as a forum to bring state and regional issues to the attention of the NC-SARA Board and leadership, as well as to support the professional development of its members.
