This site contains reports from self-study working groups prepared in April 2008.  Each working group investigated a broad area of Hunter College's operations.  These are DRAFT reports.  To help us complete them, we encourage you and all other members of the Hunter community to participate in college-wide self-study by reading these reports and offering your comments and suggestions.
