Recognition
Update
The Council for
Higher Education Accreditation's Committee on Recognition has, since
its first meeting in June 1999, initiated review of 32 accrediting organizations
that have applied for CHEA recognition based on the CHEA Recognition
Policy and Procedures (September, 1998). The recognition review has
two stages: a determination of whether the accrediting organization
is eligible for CHEA recognition based on the CHEA eligibility standards
in the policy (paragraph 10) and review of the organizations for recognition
based on the CHEA recognition standards in the policy (paragraph 11).
The committee's recommendations of eligibility and recognition are acted
upon by the CHEA Board of Directors. To date, the board has declared
31 organizations eligible for CHEA recognition review.
The review schedule established by the Committee on Recognition for
accrediting organizations declared eligible and pursuing CHEA recognition
is available below. Please also note that these reviews provide for
third party comment.

Third
Party Comment
The CHEA recognition
process provides for third party comment during the review period. As
indicated in the CHEA Recognition Policy (paragraph 28):
"All third parties who intend to comment at an accrediting organization's
recognition review must submit in writing to CHEA a description of the
organization(s) they represent and an outline of the proposed comments.
All comments must address the accrediting organization's efforts to
meet the CHEA recognition standards.
CHEA staff will review third-party submissions for completeness and
applicability to recognition standards. Outlines of oral and written
comments will be included in materials provided to accrediting organizations,
the committee, and readers. The accrediting organization shall have
the opportunity to review third-party comments and attach its response.
Third-party comments, with the accrediting organization's response,
will be distributed to the committee for consideration. Individuals
and organizations that request the opportunity to comment will be notified
of the scheduled appearance of the accrediting organization and, where
in the judgment of the committee doing so may be useful, assigned a
time at which to appear. CHEA staff will notify all concerned parties
of the location, date, and time of the public presentation."
Third party comment for organizations being reviewed November 6-7, 2000
should be received in the CHEA office no later than September 30,
2000. Third party comment for organizations being reviewed March
19-20, 2001 should be received no later than February 1, 2001.
