An Assessment of Higher Ed Accreditation and SACSCOC - Part 2

In the conclusion of this two-part series, Dr. Drumm McNaughton and Dr. Belle Wheelan, president of the Southern Association of Colleges Commission on Colleges, discuss the tsunami of issues facing higher ed and accreditation today, including several hot-button issues, how she responds to criticisms of accreditation, recent SACSCOC standards, and what’s ahead for accreditation.

Podcast Highlights

• Student learning outcomes continue to be “a big deal.”
• The desire for micro-credentialing by sources outside accredited colleges and universities is stronger than ever, and how—and even if—to proceed is still up in the air.
• In its current mid-cycle, SACSCOC is focusing on reviewing existing standards, shared governance, and DEI matters, and these will probably continue to be focus areas in coming years.
