Serving Too Many Masters: Changing the Accreditation Process.

Uehling, Barbara S.

Educational Record, v68 n3 p38-41 Sum 1987

The Council on Postsecondary Accreditation states the purposes of accreditation to be the assurance of quality and self-improvement of institutions. Neither goal is well served by a single process. A process designed to distinguish acceptable from unacceptable performance should be different in character from one to improve an institution. (MLW)
