Join Dr. Siri Terjesen and Mike Shires for an in-depth discussion of the Department of Education’s Accreditation, Innovation, and Modernization (AIM) framework, a transformative initiative designed to modernize higher education accreditation. This webinar explores how the AIM convening committee thought about strengthening accountability, enhancing transparency, protecting academic freedom and intellectual diversity, and creating clearer pathways aligned with today’s workforce needs. Dr. Terjesen, Associate Dean and Phil Smith Professor at Florida Atlantic University, brings extensive scholarly expertise and institutional leadership from her work across international academic institutions. Mike Shires, Vice Chair of Education Opportunity at the America First Policy Institute, contributes critical policy insights focused on expanding opportunity and improving accountability in education. Together, they unpack what the AIM proposal may mean in practice for students, faculty, accreditors, and institutions navigating the future of higher education.
