How is American-style accreditation different from accreditation throughout the rest of the world, and why does that matter? In this podcast, Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) President Judith S. Eaton, speaks with ACCT President and CEO J.

- What do trustees need to know about accreditation?
- Will standards that are used today still be relevant to community college next year or in the next decade?
- How might they change, and why?
- What role do college boards play in accreditation?
