Assessment and Accreditation: An Imperiled Symbiosis. Occasional Paper #33
Gaston, Paul L.
National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment
This report reviews the accomplishments of higher education accreditation relative to its symbiotic relationship with assessment, acknowledges serious criticisms and proposed reforms, and indicates how accreditation might reform itself so as to disarm calls for radical change, improve its performance, strengthen the institutions and programs it serves, and enhance public understanding of and appreciation for higher education.
