Please note that assured reports are still subject to review by AASHE staff prior to publication, which may require additional revisions. AASHE reserves the right to withhold points for this credit if it is determined that the assurance process was clearly unsuccessful in identifying and resolving inconsistencies or errors (e.g., when AASHE staff identify a significant number of issues that were either not mentioned in the completed review template or not resolved successfully).

Has the institution completed an assurance process that provides independent affirmation that the information in its current STARS report is reported in accordance with credit criteria?:

A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:
Dickinson College STARS Liaisons Neil Leary and Lindsey Lyons met with internal reviewer Ben Sweger to discuss the review process. Ben reviewed each credit’s reporting field and associated information (attachments, inventories, and URLs). Using the 2.2 Review Template, Ben updated the status of each credit and where necessary, commented on areas that required revision. Neil and Lindsey then reviewed the template that Ben had completed and updated the STARS report in areas that Ben highlighted as needing revision. They also updated the review template, as necessary. Through the shared review template, Ben was able to identify when Neil and Lindsey made the necessary revisions. Ben then reviewed the updated areas to assure that correct information was presented. Ben then updated all relevant areas in the review template to reflect that all criteria were met.
