            "text": "Staff Conference. Each semester, the University holds an opening conference/institute to deliberate on issues of current importance to the University. Under the guidance of Drs. Patricia Pearson and Mark Shale, at that time the University's SACS co-liaisons, the faculty and staff of the University formed five breakout groups that met to discuss possible topics for a QEP. A follow-up session at the August 15, 2005, Fall Faculty/Professional Staff Conference, further refined these ideas. Dr. Shale met with the leaders of the Student Government Association (SGA) during the spring and fall, presented them with the results of the meetings of faculty and staff, and asked the Executive Committee of the SGA to comment on the proposals and seek input from the entire SGA membership. The SGA Executive Committee developed four topic proposals, three of which overlapped with the suggestions from faculty and staff: increasing student engagement with learning, strengthening the curriculum, and enhancing the campus academic climate. (Link to SGA_QEP_Proposals.pdf) The full SGA endorsed its suggested QEP topics at its November 28, 2005, meeting, which were passed along to the SACS co-liaisons."

KSU received a grant from the Southern Educational Foundation (SEF) for preparing for the SACS reaffirmation of accreditation. KSU used part of the funds to further the process of selecting a QEP topic. During that period, Dr. Titi Ufomata, Associate Provost, took over the duties of the SACS liaison. In early spring of 2007, the KSU Leadership Team appointed the QEP Selection Committee, chaired by Dr. Shale, for the purpose of finalizing the process for the selection of the topic, and appointed the QEP Committee, which would have the responsibility of developing and writing the plan. Memberships on both committees consisted of faculty, staff, and students, with several members serving on both committees. The QEP Committee also included a member of the Frankfort community who had served as the Director of the Kentucky Arts Council."

            "text": "The QEP Selection Committee, using as a guide the successful approach taken by the University of Central Florida in identifying the topic for its QEP, initiated a QEP proposal contest. It was a two-step process to further engage and encourage KSU faculty, staff, and students in the selection of a topic. For the first part of the process, the Committee drew up guidelines in early 2007 and announced in April a campus-wide \"call\" for short proposals of two pages outlining and justifying a QEP topic in accord with previous discussions. The request identified the six most common themes that had emerged from previous University discussions on the QEP (see section III: Identification of the Topic), with the addendum that a different topic could be proposed if it was adequately justified. Proposals could be submitted by faculty, staff, students, or through a collaborative effort. (Link to QEP_Pre-Proposal_Request.pdf) In the second step of the process, the Committee would select up to three proposals for development into more substantial 15-page \"white papers,\" with $1500 awarded to the author of each paper or to the collaborative group which produced it. (Link to QEP_White_Paper_Let_revised.pdf) The goal was to select an exceptional paper that could be passed along to the QEP Committee for development, and the paper's author"
