COVID-19 has been powerful as a driver of the expanded reliance on distance learning and the concern about financial viability. Race has been the primary driver of greater attention to equity. Three issues -- large-scale distance learning, financial fragility and race and equity -- are driving the immediate future of accreditation, perhaps leading to a rethinking of what "quality" means. There has been an unparalleled scale of distance learning offerings, growing numbers of institutions that are financially fragile now and that are likely to be in the future and an intensification of attention and needs in relation to race and equity. This newsletter examines how accreditation standards are being interpreted and applied as well as the importance that there is a need to invest in these issues: (1) Quality and distance learning; (2) Financial scrutiny of institutions and programs; and (3) Race and equity.
