One Size Does Not Fit All: Bennett’s Accreditation Problem
One size does not fit all, and the Bennett College story proves it. A recent study found that Bennett ranked 30th out of 578 private colleges in the likelihood that an attending student would move up two or more income quintiles. This social mobility feat is possible because Bennett admits and enrolls more poor students than many other SACSCOC institutions. Thus, the college’s financial stability should not be measured with the same yardstick as institutions with more affluent students and alumni. Bennett’s story demonstrates the time is ripe to examine the accrediting processes of our nation’s colleges and universities. We need commissions whose governing boards reflect the institutions governed.
