When the Accreditation Board Says—“NO”: A Chronicle of the Reaccreditation Process

Author: James L. Toppen (East Carolina University)

Abstract

In the Fall of 2001, East Carolina University received notice that their NAIT Accreditation for the Industrial Technology programs was in jeopardy. Of the sixty-two accreditation standards, we had received a combined total of seventeen partial and non- compliant ratings from the NAIT Board of Accreditation. Our Dean was very emphatic regarding his embarrassment and our disgrace as a department.
