""Accreditation is really a chance to take stock of what we're doing well and what could be improved. It's a very important chance for us to hear comprehensively across a wider range of experiences at the university than we sometimes manage to get through our normal governance and interactive processes.""
""Middle States' seven standards for accreditation are: Mission and Goals; Ethics and Integrity; Design and Delivery of the Student Learning Experience; Support of the Student Experience; Educational Effectiveness Assessment; Planning, Resources and Institutional Improvement; and Governance, Leadership and Administration.""
The university's reaccreditation process is in its initial phase, featuring a steering committee tasked with designing a self-study to evaluate compliance with seven accreditation standards from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. This evaluation encompasses the entire institution, including Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Tech. Accreditation is essential for student access to federal financial aid. Cornell has maintained accreditation since 1921, with the latest reaffirmation in 2021. Each of the seven standards has a dedicated working group co-chaired by faculty members.
