This volume offers insight into U.S. accreditation--its history, values, advantages, benefits, and challenges--and in so doing respond to recent critiques. They remind us that it is imperative for accrediting commissions and institutions to take steps to address the legitimate concerns raised about the ability of accreditation to function effectively and efficiently and to meet the needs not only of institutions, but of prospective students and their families, and they outline suggestions for how this might be done.
