It’s good news, but will the crow be digested? Back in the early 90s, several of the regional accreditation associations adopted standards that explicitly called for schools to go all out to maximize “diversity.” Eventually, and under pressure, those standards were dropped, but that doesn’t stop accreditation visiting teams from suggesting that the school should do more to promote greater “inclusivity.” So I have heard from several professors. Just because NCATE has formally abandoned its “social justice” crusade doesn’t mean that it won’t rear its head again. This bears watching.
