The Accountability Movement

I've decided to use this space to try and document and provide links about the "accountability movement" in higher education that is behind SLOs, the use of data, the "culture of evidence", strictness of the ACCJC, and the increasing interest that private organizations have in higher education. I hope to provide color on trying to figure out

• where the pressure to fix it is coming from
