Public Representation
Our agreement with the United States Department of Education to accredit non-degree granting postsecondary schools requires one seventh of the members of the Board of Trustees to be public representatives. This amendment to the bylaws ensures that this one-seventh requirement is met by allowing for the appointment of an at-large public representative in the event that the rotation of public representatives does not provide for the minimum number of public representatives.

Central Review Committee
This amendment pertains to the composition of the Central Review Committee, the entity that reviews school and district portfolios to make an accreditation recommendation. The changes eliminate the requirement for subcommittees of the Committee. The elimination of this language allows for greater flexibility in structuring the Committee to meet the review needs of the organization and its schools/districts over time.
