Public comment invited for PLU accreditation reevaluation
November 30, 2007
PLU will be undergoing a comprehensive, full-scale accreditation reevaluation this April.
The university is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, and representatives of NWCCU will visit PLU from April 16 to 18, 2008 to complete the reevaluation. Such a review is conducted once every 10 years, most recently at PLU in 1998. The public is invited to comment on the university’s qualification for accreditation by sending a written and signed statement to:
Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities
8060 165th Avenue N.E., Suite 100
Redmond, WA 98051-3981
425-558-4224
Comments must be received by March 15, 2008. Signed comments are forwarded, as received, to PLU, the NWCCU evaluation committee and the NWCCU. For a copy of Policy A-5, “Public Notification and Third Party Comments Regarding Full-Scale Evaluations,” call the commission office or visit www.nwccu.org (click on Standards and Policies and then Operational Policies).
College and university accreditation is a voluntary process of recognizing educational institutions for performance, integrity, and quality that entitles them to the confidence of the educational community and the public. In the United States this recognition is extended largely through nongovernmental, voluntary professional associations that have responsibility for establishing criteria, evaluating institutions against the criteria, and approving institutions that meet the criteria.
