THERE'S A LOT THAT'S RIGHT ABOUT REGIONAL ACCREDITATION

Judith S. Eaton

The Role, Presence and Value of Regional Accreditation
The Critique
Critiquing the Critique
But... Let's Pay Attention

Several months ago, Anne Neal, president of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), spoke at the annual meeting of the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training (ACCET), a federally recognized accrediting organization ("The Future of Accreditation") - https://www.goacta.org/publications/dow ... -24-08.pdf.
Although Ms. Neal addressed the general role of accreditation, her primary focus was the regional organizations. And, consistent with the position that she and ACTA have taken for the past several years (see "Why Accreditation Doesn't Work and What Policymakers Can Do About It" - https://www.goacta.org/publications/dow ... nal.pdfand "Can College Accreditation Live Up to Its Promise?"), she once again found much to criticize. https://www.goacta.org/publications/dow ... 7Final.pdf
