What Happened with ABET (Engineering Accreditation)?

"ABET became non-compliant with US Department of Education regulations. Rather than go through an appeals process, ABET chose to withdraw prior to a re-recognition hearing before the Department of Education." (ABET, 3/18/01)

"Based on the action taken by the ABET board on October 28th, 2000, ABET declined to add a requirement for each institution with ABET accredited programs to file a report on its accreditation programs every two years in those years in which a comprehensive or interim review is not scheduled."
