AUDITORS - Representing TEAC

It is expected that during the visit to the campus, auditors may, at the discretion of the program faculty, meet with campus leaders to exchange greetings, to answer any questions about TEAC and the TEAC processes, and to corroborate evidence and argument found in the Inquiry Brief. The training program that TEAC provides for auditors prepares them to answer questions that can be anticipated and gives them procedures for responding to questions that have not been anticipated and which challenge the auditors’ knowledge. In all exchanges, it is important that the auditors acknowledge their own limited roles. With the exception of the evidence about institutional commitment, they do not make evaluative decisions about accreditation. Also, they are not on campus to suggest how programs might be improved, and they are not expected to take personal positions about accreditation issues in higher education.
