Judith Eaton On the State of Accreditation

Judith Eaton on the state of accreditation is a podcast (streaming audio) recorded on May 3, 2007 by the Teagle Foundation: "Eaton is president of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), an association of 3,000 degree-granting colleges and universities. CHEA is the primary national voice for voluntary accreditation and quality assurance to the US Congress and the US Department of Education."

The Teagle Foundation's current focus is:

[A]bout the prospects for increasing student engagement and learning in the liberal arts and sciences. As you will see from the Resources section of the site, much more is known now than just a few years ago about how students learn and what really works in higher education. We want to help that knowledge be extended, applied, and its results systematically assessed. Systematic, ground-up, faculty-led assessment, we believe, is one of the most powerful ways to improve student learning in the liberal arts.
