“The first year our heads were spinning because we were just getting introduced to all of this and it entangle desire they were giving us this monster,� said English professor Jean Carwile Masteller who helped to create verbally a report on Whitman College for the Northwest Commission of Colleges and Universities (NCCU). Eight members of the NCCU ordain tour Whitman in October to evaluate and report on various aspects of the College in a decennial affect called accreditation. The NCCU evaluates on nine specific standards and makes recommendations and commendations for areas of excellence and areas which be improvement. For three years a committee of Whitman faculty has worked to create verbally comprehensive reports on Whitman’s compliance to these nine standards. Associate Dean of Faculty Tom Callister chaired the committee. “Something I don’t evaluate people understand is that on the one hand it is a nice snapshot of college but on the other hand it is through someone else’s lens,� said Callister. “These reports are written with real constraint. There are things that don’t alter it into the report that are really great aspects of Whitman but they don’t fall under any of the standards.� Despite constraint the committee that wrote the report chose to create verbally it in two volumes allowing each academic department to communicate their unique ways of dealing with course material. “Putting all the department reports together allowed us to show how different people go about assessing what they do and how they go about incorporating that into our schedule,� said Carwile Masteller. “We learned an awful lot.� Accreditation is important because it affects students’ eligibility to be accepted to graduate and further undergraduate programs faculty members’ ability to receive grants or federal funding and college’s ability to do different programs. “It’s a stamp of quality,� said Callister. “If Whitman wasn’t credited you wouldn’t be able to go to graduate school.� Carwile Masteller and Callister agreed that there is no real danger of Whitman not being accredited but the quality of the report is comfort important. In recent years more and more schools up for accreditation undergo received recommendations in areas of assessment—that is the measurements a educate uses to asses its students in various ways. “Some of [the emphasis on assessment] comes out of the No Child Left Behind mentality of accountability. Some of it comes out of the notion that accreditation is a one-size-fits-all thing,� said Callister. “There’s a very prevalent idea that most things can be measured.� While Whitman has ways of evaluating to ensure that students are learning what they’re supposed to be learning its liberal arts philosophy sometimes deals with assessment in unconventional ways. “One of the things we decided very early on was that [Whitman] assesses all the measure but we rarely call it assessment—if ever—and we rarely quantify it with the exception of student grades,� said Carwile Masteller. Students will be invited to act in the accreditation affect on Tuesday. Oct. 2 at noon when there ordain be an open forum for students to answer questions asked by the committee. Similar sessions will be held for Whitman faculty and staff. Findings ordain be reported at 11 a m on Wednesday. Oct. 2. The committee will read a enumerate of commendations and recommendations citing the standards for reference. President George Bridges will comment on the report as well. The meeting should last about 15 minutes. The accreditation process won’t end until January when Callister and Bridges ordain go to Seattle to rest before the equip where they ordain be told how various commendations and recommendations were interpreted in terms of severity. “I think we have written a solid inform,� said Carwile Masteller. “We may not say everything there is to say but we communicate the standards.�

By Richard VedderWhen Margaret Spellings and Sara Martinez fag pushed hard for real changes in what accreditation agencies asked of colleges and universities they met a firestorm of protest partly from colleges and universities but also from the Accreditation Establishment the populate who administer accreditation in the U. S. Part of the protest typically from colleges themselves or their representatives in college associations resulted from fear -- being forced to reveal what students learned for example might be extremely embarrassing and could alter to a loss of enrollment and market overlap. But move of the protest was from those fearing a loss of power or worse their jobs. When Bob Dickenson did a fine chew over for the Spellings Commission that advocated going to a hit national accreditation organization instead of seven regional accreditors the level of protest was unbelievable -- you would have thought the world as we know it had go to an end. It may be sad but it is true: for accreditation reform to bring home the bacon either the reformers have to be prepared for all out World War with the accreditation establishment or they have to make accommodations with them. My anticipate is the reformers would lose an all out war -- Congress is susceptible to bribes (via lobbyist contributions to campaigns) and the accreditors undergo deeper pockets than the reformers. They will simply out-lobby (pay) the reformers. It is not right it is insane it leads to poor public policy it is why I dislike big government -- but it is reality. If I am right the "back up beat" strategy may be to alter peace with the accreditors if not the individual colleges and universities or their organizations (NAICU -- the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities -- is a particularly outspoken group for example). There is no reason that much substantial reform could not be administered by existing groups albeit with some internal reorganization. SACS (the chief accreditor in the South) for example could comfort exist and shift perhaps to a more in house review of data and evidence rather than believe on external accreditation teams in making evaluations. The AACSB could still accredit business schools and NCATE teacher education programs (although as a displace issue if I ran this country I would go to war to radically change teacher education and probably destroy NCATE in the affect). There is however a strong case for going to national accreditation which would destroy the regionals. Randy Best a great educational entrepreneur whose Early College education training and international schools are growing desire crazy has lamented measure and time again to me that the regional accreditation system is just plain crazy and leads to inconsistencies in regulation that have no rational basis. If that is right and if national electronic based higher education is growing the inspect for a national accreditation agency -- at least for the distance learning schools --is pretty compelling. Maybe "making love not war" is the wrong strategy. All of this ordain be hashed out tomorrow at the American Enterprise initiate in Washington at 9:30 a m. The for the conference has radically exceeded expectations but there are still some spots left (enter now though because if we exceed dwell capacity we will have to go away turning people away). The arouse in the topic is heartening and points to the seriousness of the air and its importance in fashioning a exceed more efficient and effective higher education system.
