AAC&U is now engaged in a new phase of the VALUE initiative supported with a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Begun in December 2013, this grant supports one-year of initial work on two interrelated projects including VALUE, but also another initiative called GEMs (General Education Maps and Markers). Funding for VALUE supports the activities of the Multistate Collaborative to Advance Learning Outcomes Assessment (MSC) - a partnership among the State Higher Education Executive Officers’ association (SHEEO)and nine state higher education systems and two- and four-year campuses in those states.
