One Size Does Not Fit All: Bennett’s Accreditation Problem

One size does not fit all, and the Bennett College story proves it.

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.
