Throughout its history, the Accreditation Commission of Higher Education's (CHEA) identity has been intimately associated with fostering trust and confidence in higher education. As an institutional accreditor, the Commission takes satisfaction in advocating for self-reflection that leads to substantive institutional transformation.
Encouragement of institutional change has never been more crucial than it is today, when institutional actions, rules, or procedures may have uneven effects on a student body that is becoming increasingly diverse. The Commission applauds and encourages the efforts of institutions that disclose the results of in-depth self-reflection.
The Commission launched this podcast series to highlight highly-effective institutional practices that have made a difference in the lives of our students through diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives because it recognizes that it has a significant voice and presence within the higher education community
