MSU's Response
<START Replace this text with your response.>
The basic structure of a response is a couple of paragraphs and a list of illustrative examples.
Typically, use one or two paragraphs to state how MSU fulfills the requirement or meets the
standard, and then list examples (often websites, but can be appended materials) demonstrating
your point(s). If you list a website, provide a complete web address.
The goal is not to use a lot of unnecessary words, but to demonstrate to the reader how MSU fulfills
the requirement or meets the standard.
Note: Some of the standards pack several items into one statement, and these will take more than
a couple of paragraphs. Responses for this type of standard often have multiple authors. Submit
responses for the parts of the standard that are in your area of responsibility and assume other
authors will cover other required components. If possible, work together with the other authors to
develop a coordinated response.
