The People of Institutional Accreditation: A Study of the Characteristics of Evaluation Teams and Related Aspects of the Accrediting Process.
Kells, H. R.
Journal of Higher Education, v50 n2 p178-98 Mar-Apr 1979
Substantial changes were found to have occurred in the age distribution and evaluation team experience of institutional accreditation team visitors and chairpersons employed between 1970 and 1977. Criticisms such as "clubiness," duplication of effort, and preference for or dominance of certain types of institutions are discussed. (Author/LBH)
