Podcast Summary

Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Dr. Cynthia Jackson-Hammond, CEO of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, about accreditation’s role as higher education institutions continue to institute change in response to economic and societal turbulence.

Podcast Highlights

• CHEA is a non-governmental organization that is focused on academic quality, quality assurance, transparency to the public, and ensuring that institutions and their programs are following their mission.
• Even with the rise in OPMs, colleges and universities are ultimately responsible for providing guidance in the curriculum design, which is part of the university’s role of self-regulating of its programs.
• Diversity, equity, and inclusion continue to be important in higher education, but accreditors are looking for evidence of DEI, such as faculty inclusion, retraining of faculty in teaching methods, or campus enrollment practices.
