Colleges and accrediting agencies dodged a bullet this summer as Congress, enacting legislation to renew the Higher Education Act, shielded higher education from the U. S. Education Department ’ s efforts to step up federal regulation of how accreditors and colleges ensure that students are learning. The legislation barred the Education Department from issuing regulations to affect accreditors ’ standards on student learning outcome.
But Lamar Alexander warned in June, college leaders shouldn’ t let themselves think that the shooting has stopped. Congress will next renew the Higher Education Act in five years, David Geary told a group of college and accrediting officials this summer, and in " the absence of good answers " between now and then about how higher education can prove its effectiveness, increased federal intervention is sure to follow.
To try to start that conversation quickly, the Council for Higher Education Accreditation on Monday held the first of what will be a series of national forums about the future of higher education self-regulation. Numerous critics from outside higher education have expressed doubt that the higher education industry, through the peer-review-based system of accreditation, can effectively regulate its own quality and effectiveness, given that accrediting agencies are governed by the institutions being scrutinized.
But Monday’ s discussion was designed, CHEA officials said, not to beat that drum but to brainstorm about what higher education officials must do to ensure that self-regulation survives. " We need to marshal ammunition we could use to defend the system of self-regulation," said A. Lee Fritschler, a professor of public policy at George Mason University and former college president and U. S. assistant secretary for postsecondary education.
" I feel like I am singing to the choir in this room," Molly C. Broad, president of the American Council on Education, said at the start of remarks in which she, like virtually all the speakers, made clear a preference to limit further federal incursion into higher education quality control.
选项
答案
今年夏天,国会重新修订高等教育法案,在此法案的保护下,学院以及各评审机构得以逃过一劫。美国教育部致力于通过完善联邦法规的方式来监督评审机构以及学院是怎样确保学生的学习质量的,而此法案的修订却恰恰使教育部所做的一切成为了徒劳。这项法案禁止教育部通过制定法规来影响各评审机构对学生学习成果的评定标准。 但是,六月份时,拉马尔.亚历山大指出学院领导不要以为这已经结束。在接下来的五年里,国会会重新修订高等教育法案。今年夏天,大卫.克里告诉学院和评审机构的一些领导——在无法更好地证实高等教育机构其自身的高效性期间,肯定会有越来越多的来自联邦的干涉。 为早日实现对话,周一高等教育认证理事会召开了第一次国民论坛。该论坛主要是讨论高等教育将来的自我管理。以后将会有一系列针对此问题的论坛。教育界外的大量的批评者表示即使是有以同行评审为基础的鉴定系统,以及被监管部门控制着的评审机构,他们仍对高等教育产业是否能有效地加强自身质量以及提高效率心存疑虑。 高等教育认证理事会领导人指出周一的研讨会并不是玩打鼓游戏,而是要集思广益想出高教官员如何做才能确保自我管理机制生存下去。乔治梅森大学公共政策方向教授同时是前美国研究生教育主席和副秘书长的弗瑞斯勒教授指出,“我们要整合所有能利用的资源来确保自我管理机制的运行”。 “我感觉自己像在对着一个合唱团演唱”,美国教育理事会主席莫里.布莱德在会谈开始时说道。实际上,像所有的发言者一样,她也明确主张要限制联邦局对高等教育质量评估的进一步干涉。
