Status of accreditation request

At its August 25 meeting, Council referred our request to SAA's Committee on Education. The Committee on Education has established a subcommittee to investigate accreditation and will present a report for Council's consideration before next summer's annual meeting. Russell James has provided an account of his discussion with Committee chair and subcommittee member Donna McCrea about their plans on his blog at http://recordsjunkie.blogspot.com/2008/09/accreditation-discussion-is-happening.html.

If you are interested in this issue, either for or against it, I encourage you to comment in public forums (including this one) and respond to the subcommittee's request for comment when it is made later in the year.
