President Hodge recently committed Miami to be one of twenty institutions across the nation to pioneer "Open Pathways", a more streamlined, continuous and electronic means for reaffirmation of accreditation.
Open Pathways consists of two key components:
- Assurance Process which requires the continuous accumulation of electronically stored information and data coupled with the creation of an Assurance Argument that makes the case that the institution meets the Criteria for Accreditation and the federal requirements; and
- Improvement Process which is Quality Initiative the institution undertakes as something it wants to do and culminates in a Results Visit by peer reviewers.
