offer insight on the attacks.
Over the course of an hour and a
half, the panel discussed an array of
inquiries posed by the mediator and
submitted by the audience.
Pollard began the discussion by ask
ing the question of what it means to be
a terrorist and the role of the entire na

Middle Eastern studies, she said, that
in her travels the most frequent ques
tion Middle Easterners asked her was
‘why does America hate us so much’?
“We must ask who are the terror
ists, and what do we have to do to make
our presence less abrasive,” Pollard
said.

V1DLLY handler _.h„hk„ jn the Warwick Center last Friday
evening, in celebration of this
achievement. The gathering was
originally intended to be much
larger, but the AACSB announced
its re-accreditation of the Cameron
School of Business last Tuesday,
only minutes before terrorist at
tacks in Washington, D.C. and New
York. The meeting ended shortly
after the decision was made.
“We didn’t feel like celebrating

(on FridayX’’Clark said.
Students of the Cameron
School of Business now have an
edge over all other North Carolina
business students, thanks to the re
accreditation of the program by the
AACSB.
The Association to Advance
Collegiate School of Business ac
credits only about one third of the
1,200 business schools across the
United States. The accreditation
jneans degree criteria are at the
highest level of academic excel
lence. The quality of the education
provided by the program will con
tinue to be monitored by the
AACSB.
“This accreditation places
UNCW as the top ranking business
school in North Carolina,” said
Larry Clark, dean of the Cameron
School of Business.
The AACSB initially accredited
Cameron in 1993. The periodic re
accreditation was necessary to en
sure that the university continued
to reflect the changing business
technologies and available knowl
edge mirrored in the business world
outside of campus.
Criteria for re-accreditation r
quired an extensive self-evaluation
in the program’s mission, curricu
lum, degree requirements, faculty
resources and performance, student
placement, technology, and student
resources. Following the university
evaluation, a team of peer reviews
from the AACSB also visited the
campus to reaffirm that the
Cameron School of Business met
the stringent requirements.
Students are receiving one of the
best business educations in North
Carolina now that the Cameron
School of Business has- achieved
this re-accreditation, Clark said.
