Accreditation is the primary way of ensuring the quality of higher education to its many constituencies. This self-regulating system of institutional peer review is surely better than direct government oversight, but critics say the current system is a compromise between accreditors and colleges presidents, rather than a rigorous set of common standards.
Is today's accreditation meeting our needs? The public want assurance of quality. The legislators want accountability and results. The faculty want a smooth process and recognition for their hard work. Plus there are new faces on campus--quality initiatives such as the Academic Quality Improvement Project and the Malcolm Baldrige awards -- in addition to focused self-studies, coordinated evaluations with other agencies, and new models of periodic review.
