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. </div>

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.</div>
