A-B Hoping
For Earlier
Accreditation
Asheville - Biltmore College
can receive senior college ac
creditation this year, some 12
months earlier than previously
expected, Dr. William E. High-
smlth,A-B president, has an
nounced.
The earlier date was made
possible because of a new policy
adopted by the Southern Asso
ciation of Colleges and Schools.
Previously, A-B would have had
to wait until after graduation
of three classes, although ac
creditation would be retroactive.
Dr. Charles B. Vail, associate
executive secretary of the Sou
thern Association’s Commis
sion on Colleges, wrote Dr. High-
smith that the earlier accredita
tion date was possible under a
policy adopted by the association
at its annual meeting.
“This policy applies to insti
tutions in transition from junior
to senior status and hence to
Asheville-Biltmore,Dr. Vail
wrote. A-B has had Junior col
lege accreditation for many
yeaJrs.
“The new policy will permit
Asheville - Biltmore CoUeg^e to
gain accreditation as a senior
institution In 1967,” Dr. Vail
said. *‘An evaluation will be ne
cessary, of course, and we should
make plans for an evaluatUm
committee visit in the early
fall."
, Although the policy of retro
active accreditation was discon
tinued, the earlier commitment
to A-B will be honored and the
accredltatldn, if gained on sche
duled this year, will be retroac
tive to cover A-B*s first class,
graduated in June, 1966.
