		A team from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges -- the accrediting body for UH-Manoa, UH-Hilo and UH-West Oahu -- told the university last month that the "severe difficulties" between the regents and the president do not meet standards of accreditation for leadership of a university.

	CTCI Evaluation of Electronically Offered Degree and Certicate Programs and Guidelines for Evaluation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The college or university that has purposes appropriate to higher education, the resources necessary to achieve those purposes, demonstrates that it is achieving them and has the ability to continue to do so, is one worthy of the distinction of being regionally accredited.
		Such activities at regionally accredited colleges or universities, or at those that seek regional accreditation, undertaken in their name, are considered as included within the institution’s accreditation and thus are subject to evaluation.
		Colleges and universities have learned that the twenty-first century student is different, both demographically and geographically, from students of previous generations.

	Report from the Regions: Accreditors’ Perceptions of the Role and Impact of For-Profit Institutions in Higher ...
		One accreditor said that his association tends to give church-affiliated schools more unilateral power in selecting a new CEO than it does to FPs because it feels that the former are more concerned with the institution’s education mission (as opposed to profits) than FPs might be.
		The association declined the offer primarily because it feels there is some benefit to be had in institutions taking some time to launch new programs, such as ensuring that any new programs are consistent with the institution’s mission and having significant faculty involvement in program development and oversight.
		This association defends its decision, arguing that it is not accreditation’s role to tell a higher education institution where it needs to stay the same or where it needs to change.

	WASC 2003 Report to UH West O'ahu
		With regard to the WASC visit, the team made clear to the university that it needed to evaluate based on where the campus is today rather than on the potential of new buildings.
		The previous WASC site visit team noted that there was a lack of coordination between UHWO and Leeward Community College, a surprising development considering that the two institutions are co-located and UHWO is an upper division-only campus.
		The present WASC team did not feel that collaboration between the institutions had progressed as much as it might, given the proximity of the institutions, the fact that they are parts of the same system, and the contribution such a partnership could make to the persistence and retention of non-traditional students.

	July 16, 98 - Unlawful discrimination against alternative accreditation agencies - Op. No. 98-306 California Department ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		A number of California statutes specify accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges ("WASC") or other regional accrediting organizations for various purposes involving institutions of higher education.
		As the state statutes regarding WASC and other regional accrediting agencies were enacted by the Legislature undoubtedly for regulatory purposes, they fall within the Parker rule and may not be considered violative of the Sherman Act or the Cartwright Act.
		In exercising decision-making authority by industrial or professional associations, there is no invalid delegation of legislative power unless the statute empowers the private association to initiate or enact rules having legal force.

		The members of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) agree on the importance of accreditation as a means of maintaining and improving the quality of higher education.
		Accreditation in the Western region is guided by a set of principles which arise from shared assumptions and values about the common enterprise of member institutions.
		To be accredited, an institution must demonstrate that it: conducts its operations with integrity; employs sufficient resources-human, financial and physical-to provide an education consistent with its mission and claimed by its promotional material; offers degrees, credentials and academic credit that meet publicly-stated standards of educational performance.
