Collaboration is essential to reaping the benefits of accreditation — not just between administration and faculty, but also between higher education institutions and their peers. This collaboration has the potential to transmute the industry into something more equitable and expansive, but it requires rigorous self-examination and responsiveness to difficult, but edifying, feedback.
