Letter to the Editor | Students' role in reaccreditation

(11/13/13 3:26am)

As an institution, Penn prides itself as a locus of innovation and knowledge. Over the last two years, administration, faculty and students across the University have engaged in an in-depth study of undergraduate education at Penn as a part of the accreditation process for the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. On a practical level, accreditation ensures that the University will continue to receive federal funding for initiatives such as student financial aid and grants. As students who have been given a front-row seat to this process, we have seen this as an opportunity for Penn to challenge itself to reshape and rethink parts of the undergraduate experience. We are pleased with the student involvement in the self-study and the results Penn has chosen to highlight.

Since that vote, which was overwhelmingly in favor of the moratorium, many other leaders on campus — including the new Undergraduate Assembly president and vice president — have voiced their support for the moratorium. Since any change in SAC policy reverberates throughout campus, we just wanted to give you, the student body, an update and set the record straight on the moratorium once and for all.
