As for losing accreditation, well that rarely happens to anyone, for any reason. The annual reports that the CHE releases on this typically report very few schools. One of the jobs of accrediting bodies is to *prevent* schools from losing their status. Schools are given a great deal of warnings, suggestions, etc. when trouble spots are identified. I have worked at a school that has been given warnings about our ratios. The university hired more full-timers.

Sorry, I'm posting another response to the same post, but I see something weird here. Not that you have endorsed the process. But this sounds like saying we never need to fail any students because they are given so many warnings that they all end up doing passing work.

Well… yes. That is not incorrect. This is how most regulatory bodies operate.
 Inspection RecommendationsCorrective Actions Taken Approval
The vast majority of universities pass their accreditation process because they choose to follow recommendations for corrective actions.
