Hi Rachel, I have a bunch of questions! I very openly have numerous criticisms of the CIRR standards but I also appreciate the vision of having standardized outcomes. My goal is to ask fair questions with no shades of opinions and hope to have constructive discourse.
1. Why are the results delayed for Q2 2022 compared to the Q2 2021 timeframe for release?
2. Why did the domain name expire earlier this year and no one renewed it for about 10 days afterwards during the domain recovery period?
3. What are the annual fees for being a "member school"?
4. Why is CIRR a 501c6 business league instead of a 501c3 non-profit?
5. What's the process for making changes to the standards and how to members contribute to that? (this might be a very long answer but just a high level overview)
6. What is the role of a board member of CIRR and what does the board do?
7. Why are outcomes reported as percentages instead of both percentages and absolute numbers?
8. If a member school doesn't follow specific CIRR standards because they don't feel they apply to their school, why does CIRR allow their results to be posted without a disclaimer? (This is reference to Codesmith's treatment of their TAs, whereas other schools report TAs as "hired by school", Codesmith openly considers TAs students and changes their graduation dates, even though it's a paid role)
I might update more questions, I wasn't expecting this post and timebox my Reddit comment time!
