library mission woven throughout standard one rather than treated as something separate. The pared down standards could actually be freeing if we’re creative and thoughtful about tying our libraries’ practices to achievement and learning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Yes, we all were quite shocked by the changes to accreditation, Heath. We went through a series of discussions to draft recommendations for NWCCU, hoping that they would listen
and make some changes. We also collaborated with ACRL OR & WA, as well as Orbis Cascade Alliance and additional regional library groups. We all submitted similar recommendations. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Unfortunately, NWCCU only made one modification. It added an ambiguous phrase "qualified personnel" to the one standard about collections. In my opinion, very disappointing. That
said, I feel like we responded strongly as a group and did what we could considering the circumstances.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
