Your Best Foot Forward

Every ten years, colleges and universities engage in the important and complex process of seeking reaffirmation. A foundational component is the self-study where transparency is balanced with demonstrated successes to yield a fair assessment. Evidence to support each conclusion is critical, as is speaking with one voice and avoiding anything that could be construed as contradictory.

It is rare for anyone internally to have expertise in every aspect of this process. The time between reaffirmations means that those who prepared the last one may well have moved on before the next one starts. With demographic and financial concerns of paramount importance today, it can be a challenge to demonstrate compliance with all accreditation standards and yield a full reaffirmation.

Avoiding public sanctions is critical to this process. Avoiding recommendations is ideal.
