Accreditation   \nJune 2022 Council for  \nCHEA   \nHigher Education Accreditation  \nCHEA International Quality Group  \n®  \nFLORIDA MUST BE CONCERNED ABOUT ITS INSTITUTIONS  \nOF HIGHER EDUCATION  \nDr. Cynthia Jackson-Hammond, President, Council for Higher Education Accreditation  \nRecent Florida legislation (SPB 7044) decision to provide evidence to students, should be viewed with much concern and family and the public that the institution with skepticism as to the intent of the bill and its academic programs have quality  \nand its unintended consequences. The bill integrity and are of public good. The selfrequires state colleges and universities to study review allows the institution to engage  \nseek reaffirmation from different accrediting in examination of such indicators as mission organizations at the end of each review and purpose, student outcomes, curriculums,  \ncycle.

Florida Senate here. ) well-being of the Administrators, faculty, staff  \ninstitution.” and students – all are engaged  \nSome members of the in the continuous improvement  \nFlorida legislature who  \nsupport this bill cite “transparency” as areason to change agencies. The CHEA standards used to recognize accreditors are based on the principle of transparency, which requires actions and decisions about institutions to be posted on the agency’sand the institution’s websites. Transparency has always been accorded as one of the highest acknowledgements of quality work by accreditors. Institutional accreditors are responsive to this standard and provide evidence that they act impartially and with transparency of activities and with mindfulness to ensure public trust.  \nAccreditation is a voluntary, scholarly process that institutions engage in because it is their  \nmodel which includes reviewing data points of every sector that impacts quality assurance. The commitment of the institution to this process speaks volumes to academic integrity and commitment to students and their families. The self-study is recursive in practice and literally begins a new cycle when the accreditation organization declaresits findings. The accreditation process is integrative and is a scholarly activity that provides evidence of institutional quality.  \nDuring this process, institutions and accrediting organizations become supportive and collaborative. Accreditors learn about the institutional culture, mission, challenges, demographics, economic impacts, community, students and campus educational  \nenvironment. There is an investment by the accrediting organization in the well-being of the institution. The collaborative rapport is created and enhanced between review cycles, which creates an environment that better serves students. The requirement to change accrediting organizations every cycle suggests that institutions establish new networks  \nwith accrediting organizations at the sametime that they are in review with the current organization. This paradigm is not in the best interest of Florida students or institutions. The voluntary time and effort of a self-study and continuous improvement model will be greatly diminished and will significantly increase accreditation costs. This does not support the morale of the many individuals who view accreditation processes as a demonstration of institutional excellence.  \nCHEA and the U. S. Department of Education have high levels of accountability for the accrediting organizations they recognize through appropriate standards.
