Action

core definition

Action is a term used in the United States to imply a judgment or decision following an accreditation.

explanatory context

analytical review

CHEA (2002) defines action as:

A judgment by an accrediting organization regarding accreditation for new institutions and programs or review of accreditation for ongoing institutions and programs. Includes, for example, denial of accreditation, probation, and warning. (See also adverse action.)

Action in this sense is similar to the term ‘decision’ used in other countries in relation to quality review processes.
