ABA and APA also on watch

sanantone · Jun 28, 2016

The ABA accredits law schools, some of them freestanding institutions. NACIQI, after three contentious votes, recommended that the department suspend the association's ability to accredit new members for a year. The panel said the ABA had failed to implement its student achievement standards and probationary sanctions, while also falling short on its audit process and analysis of graduates' debt levels.
Barry Currier, the ABA's managing director of accreditation and legal education, said the finding followed a department staff report that listed minor technical deficiencies with the association's accrediting process.
"The council believes that it is operating in compliance with the recognition criteria," Currier said in a written statement, "but will make any changes to its accreditation standards and rules of procedures that are necessary to stay in good standing with NACIQI and the Department of Education."
Likewise, NACIQI commissioners on Wednesday peppered representatives from the American Psychological Association, a programmatic accreditor, about graduates' debt and repayment levels, which the association does not require its members to submit.
Department officials and the panel also promised that regional accreditors would receive similar scrutiny on student achievement when their recognition is up for renewal.
