Who protects the public interest?
In today's Inside HigherEd, ACTA president Anne D. Neal offers some pointed comments on how to ensure the reconstituted National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity serves the American taxpayer. Criticizing the old NACIQI for being "more attuned to politics than accountability," Neal writes:
"Going forward, I hope for nominees knowledgeable about higher education -- but not beholden to it. Nominees who will bring independence of mind and a focus on educational quality and public accountability. In short, it's time for disinterested nominees. In the corporate world, conflict of interest is taken seriously. We expect to see independent auditors. Alumni, trustees, and taxpayers should expect no less from higher ed."
