Institutional Self-Assessment Committee (CPA)
Institutional assessment with autonomy and transparency
Excellence with Accountability
The Institutional Self-Assessment Committee (CPA) is made up of representatives of the institution's faculty, students and administrative staff, plus three representatives of organized civil society. It has an advisory, administrative, executive and oversight role over educational and institutional activities.
The CPA's work is guided by autonomy and transparency, providing relevant information and guidance - including through the Institutional Assessment - for the institution's management and relevance, and for raising its standards of performance and quality.
Responsibilities
In accordance with the applicable legislation, the CPA is responsible for:
Conducting the internal institutional assessment processes.
Developing systematic monitoring, control and assessment focused on the productivity and quality of institutional results.
Organizing and reporting information on internal assessment within the National Higher Education Assessment System (SINAES).
Conducting the internal institutional assessment processes.
Developing systematic monitoring, control and assessment focused on the productivity and quality of institutional results.
Organizing and reporting information on internal assessment within the National Higher Education Assessment System (SINAES).
In simple terms, the CPA's activities involve three distinct, complementary actions: (art. 8 of the Regulations - duties of the Committee)
Planning and defining the assessment elements (art. 8, II, VI, VII)
Self-assessment with the participation of FMP's community (art. 8, I; art. 9, V)
Analysis and publication of the results (art. 8, III, IV; art. 9, IV, VI)
Institutional Assessment
The central purpose of FMP's Institutional Assessment is to promote the autonomous fulfillment of the institutional project, ensuring scientific quality in management and in meeting its social relevance and responsibility.
In compliance with legal requirements, institutional self-assessment has been part of the academic calendar of FMP's Law Program since the second semester of 2007, when it began operating. When analyzing the assessment findings, the CPA issues detailed reports indicating where improvement is needed in light of the results. This information is used to drive academic and administrative actions.
The results are widely published on the institution's website and shared with the academic community through banners and the student portal.
Current Composition
The CPA's guiding principles are:
Its composition includes three members, appointed by the School's General Directorate, from each segment of the academic community (faculty, students and administrative staff), plus three representatives of organized civil society, with no segment allowed to hold an absolute majority
Widely publicizing its composition and all of its activities
Broad institutional support for all of its actions
