Who is watching the watchdogs is what policy makers should be asking? We pay a lot of public money to these accreditation organizations and as this article below says we may not be getting much for our money. What about elected and appointed university boards? Are they watching? Who holds them accountable? At least the elected boards have to face re election but not many are ever removed from office? Who is performing evaluations, etc., on board members? Will more transparency help? Should we have more public involvement on who gets on these boards> More on this later. http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-watchdogs-of-college-education-rarely-bite-1434594602
