  • How does a new accreditation leader eliminate the phrase "that's the way we've always done it" & slash 52 substantive change categories by at least half while implementing a "students first always" philosophy?
  • What happens when an accreditor moves from "gotcha" accountability to a "carrots & sticks" approach with a sandbox of innovation that lets institutions negotiate around standards in exchange for measurable outcomes?
  • How does SACSCOC plan to embrace AI for firewalled tools, celebrate institutional successes with 60 categories of recognition, & create different pathways for R1 universities versus technical colleges?
