Here's your SCUP Link on Changes to Recognition of Accrediting Organizations!

The process by which CHEA, the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, recognizes accrediting organizations is being changes. If you have an opinion on those changes, you have until May 31 to respond via an online form.

The proposed revisions are an effort to assure that CHEA recognition plays a meaningful role as part of a strong and vibrant accreditation enterprise, reflecting the best of self-regulation and peer/professional review in serving the public interest. The revisions address the challenges of expanded international activity, degree mills and maintaining accreditation independence and transparency. They also address the recognition process, interim reporting on major changes and the time periods associated with denial of CHEA recognition or official withdrawal of consideration for CHEA recognition.
