The several regional accrediting commissions will expect military-sponsored institutions seeking accreditation to meet basically the same criteria as do non-military institutions. In respect to the requirement of a public board, the commissions will take into account the peculiar responsibility of the government and the military for the ultimate control of the institution. However, it will expect the institution to have a public advisory board which exerts broad and significant influences upon the institution’s programs and operations. It will further expect, in keeping with the academic tradition, that the faculty will play a significant role in the determination of the educational policies of the institution. |
When classified materials are used in the instructional program, these materials must be used in a manner consistent with the academic principles of the search for truth, and these materials and their instructional uses must be open to examination by evaluation committee members selected by the accrediting commission. |
