Our Love-Hate Relationship with Accreditation

BARBARA BENO JACK POND SUSAN CLIFFORD ACCJC US DEPT OF EDUCATION

Love-Hate Definition

 A love-hate relationship is a personal relationship

between humans or organizations, or figuratively between a human and an inanimate body , like a computer, a field of study, a body of ideas, or a profession, involving simultaneous or alternating emotions of love and hostility.

 This can also be simplified to say the person loves the

• ther person/object, but hates oneself for it.

We Hate to Love Accreditation!

Accreditation is Voluntary!

 Accreditation is a voluntary system of self regulation

developed to evaluate overall educational quality and institutional effectiveness

 The ACCJC accreditation process provides assurance to

the public that the accredited member colleges meet the Standards; the education earned at the institutions is

• f value to the student who earned it; and employers,

trade or profession-related licensing agencies, and

• ther colleges and universities can accept a student’s

credential as legitimate
