This issue of ACBSP Update is being released concurrent with the Annual Conference and Assembly Meeting of the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE). ACBSP is on the agenda for the meeting of their Board of Directors as they consider an invitation from ACBSP to begin discussion of combining opportunities. This is information for our readers and for IACBE members at their ACAM.

In 2003, the ACBSP leadership first proposed to IACBE that there would be value if the two accreditation bodies focused on teaching excellence in business schools were brought together to create one accrediting body. A combined organization would avoid duplication, eliminate competition, and create a stronger membership base to advance the causes of our two organizations which are quite similar in purpose. The invitation to enter into these discussions was declined by IACBE. During the September 2012 meeting of the ACBSP Board of Directors, President Peter Horn was asked to initiate these discussions again. Information was exchanged with IACBE Chair Clara Munson over a period of months. This included a white paper which defined what was envisioned in the combining opportunity. I think I can safely say no one on the ACBSP side will be dramatically disappointed if the invitation is not accepted. It will be like it was in 2003 — a missed opportunity. In my many discussions with many persons, few are able to explain why there is a need for two groups to serve what is essentially the same market. Both organizations are weakened without the synergy that would be achieved by having both organizations combined. Both organizations share similarities in our history, focus on outcomes assessment, fis-cal year, governing board structure, geographical location, qualities of our members, and regional organizations. I could go into more detail but that would mean a more lengthy report. I will focus on some of the differences that may or may not be barriers. Our accreditation processes are very similar as are the standards and criteria, but there are differences. How to integrate the accredited members of both organizations into one organization will be a focus of discussion at the ACBSP Board of Commissioners meetings this week in Kansas City. Approval from CHEA will be required. One of the differences includes the size of both organizations which for ACBSP is a source of pride. In 2003, ACBSP membership was 378 member campuses and approximately 350 institutions. While I do not have the exact numbers, I recall the IACBE membership in 2003 was between 250 and 300 institutions. In 2013, ACBSP membership has grown to 1,171 campuses and 574 institutions while IACBE membership is smaller now, thought to be between 200 and 250 members. ACBSP has grown while IACBE has become smaller. This can be a great reason for combining or it can be a barrier. In 2003, the ACBSP Annual Conference had 390 persons in attendance and featured seven exhibit booths. Our conference in June will have more than 900 individuals in attendance, while I anticipate the IACBE attendance this week will be approximately 250 persons.

In his column in this issue, our Executive Director, Doug Viehland, describes discussions with the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) during this year while I am serving as president. The discussion of combining opportunities with IACBE often brings up the discussion of why similar discussions do not occur with the other accrediting body, AACSB International. ACBSP leadership has had an outreach to AACSB to discuss ways the two organizations may collaborate, although a merger was not envisioned. This was undertaken by Annette Craven, during her year as president. This was in response to AACSB and their desire to develop a global strategy for accreditation and the failure of their attempt to create a certification program in addition to their accreditation program. This was outlined in a white paper approved by the ACBSP Board of Directors, The ACBSP Option for Implementing an AACSB Global Accreditation Strategy.

Earlier this month, AACSB found and implemented their global accreditation strategy. As stated in their press release, “The AACSB’s Blue Ribbon Committee on Accreditation Quality (BRC) has critically examined market needs, re-considered definitions of excellence and the role of accreditation, and focused on defining new standards that:• Drive innovation in business schools to create and sustain value for students, employers, and the communities they serve.• Go beyond quality and ensure that business schools also have an impact through both scholarly education and the creation of new knowledge.• Require significant engagement between faculty, students, and business professionals, fostering meaningful intersections to create and share knowledge that is both scholarly and relevant to practice.”

The standards place a new emphasis on mission, create new definitions of research required to meet the standards, and redefine the scope of accreditation which will no longer be the entire institution. ACBSP has followed the entire process. Much like revisions AACSB made in 2004, it is our analysis that the 2013 revisions continue a trend to bring AACSB standards more in line with ACBSP standards and criteria.

We have been seeking opinions during this time and we find most of the schools that have AACSB accreditation declare it will not be easier for schools to achieve AACSB accreditation with these revisions. Those that are considering AACSB accreditation are of the belief the changes will make it easier. Time will tell and one or the other group may be disappointed. The possible expansion of the number of schools that obtain accreditation is perceived by those that have it as weakening the brand. It also says the high price they paid to obtain AACSB accreditation will not be required by those that follow. What is ACBSP’s response to AACSB’s announcement? We will continue to watch for developments, continue to seek avenues of collaboration, seek ways to expand our membership without diluting our standards or relaxing our emphasis on quality, and we will continue to emphasize the things that make ACBSP great.

The Latest From Your Muscles in Brussels An Interview with Sotiris Makrygiannis of Eliademy.com (CBtec OY) on Massive Open Online Courses While the concept of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is gaining more ground in Europe and worldwide, a team of former Nokia veterans has attracted wide public interest with a new service called Eliademy. CBTec, the company that created Eliademy.com, recently joined ACBSP as a corporate member. I interviewed Sotiris Makrygiannis, co-founder and CEO of Eliademy to find out more about their plans in Europe. Below are some extracts from the interview.

Can you tell me a little about your company and network?Eliademy is a service developed by CBTec Oy, a Finnish company with a core ex-Nokia team. The core team previously delivered all open source Nokia phones such as N900 and N9. In addition, we have solidified the team with marketing and support specialists who come from different parts of the world. We pay attention to this diversity in order to cater for the special needs of different parts of the world in which we aim to reach.

What does Eliademy stand for?Going back to history, ancient Greek philosopher Plato started the first Academy in the world in an olive tree grove (elia in Greek). It was a remarkable event that laid the foundation for human education. However, Plato’s Academy was available only for people of Athens those days. CBTec believes education should be simply accessible to all people of the world (demos in Greek), thus we created a digital olive grove for anybody to teach or learn — Eliademy.com.

The vision of Eliademy is to “democratize education with technology.” Can you please elaborate or explain this?Recently, there has been a trend where educators are beginning to switch from proprietary content to open courseware. There are existing solutions facilitating this but we think they do not meet the need of educators and learners. We listened to customers and found a few needs lacking, which we have incorporated into the creation of Eliademy. We believe education should be accessible to all freely or at an affordable price and should be simple enough to enhance learning and the advancement of human kind. This is reflected in our free basic LMS that anyone can use to transfer knowledge, and our future goal of facilitating the availability of educational content between providers and learners.

You advocate a noble idea, do you participate in any other policy-shaping or awareness raising activities?At this point in time we have identified the high level purposes for our start up and we would like to move in the direction of making “knowledge” available to all in order to create the possibility of “choice.” Ideologically we belong to the Open Source, Open hardware communities and we are on the Board of the Finnish Society of Open Source (COSS.fi) advocating a digital life free of patents and intellectual property restrictions designed to serve few.

ACBSP was proud to have George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon represent Team ACBSP in the 2013 Global Management Challenge USA. Team leader Annette Nemetz, Assistant Professor of Management & Global Business at George Fox, organized her team that included School of Business students Cong Wei, Morgan Blomstrom, and Vincent DeBenedetto, and Instructor of Finance Bill Stevens. Team ACBSP was among 100 teams competing in the 2013 Global Management Challenge USA. Contestants in the Challenge included students, faculty, and business people. Each team was com-prised of between three and five individuals from among those groups. Team ACBSP completed the first round of competition. Here’s what two students thought of the experience: “I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to compete in the Global Management Challenge with the George Fox School of Business, for which I would like to thank ACBSP,” said Morgan Blomstrom, 3rd year undergraduate student in the George Fox School of Busi-ness. “During this competition, I had the distinctadvantage of working with a top notch team that inte-grated professors and students into the decision process but held each as equals. As head of our team’s marketing department, I learned that projections and reality often do not match up, but that it was my job to get those numbers as close as possible. Although it was not my specified field, I also learned a great deal about all of the financial decisions that go into running a company,” Blomstrom said. Vincent De Benedetto, also a 3rd year undergraduate student at GFSB said: “I learned...that in a competitive market it is not always easy to predict what your com-petitors are going to do next. Often times I think we lose sight of the fact that our competitors are just as keen to figure out our next move and make decisions based on that as well. This leads to an unpredictable market, which is why it is important to set goals and strategies in the beginning, only stopping to modify within them,and stick to them until the end in order to attain your business goals.” Team leader Annette Nemetz said George Fox plans to compete again next year. “Management simulations are an excellent way to integrate concepts with practice and

they give students the opportunity to explore the impacts of corporate decision-making,” she said. Global Management Challenge USA will be forming teams for next year’s competition soon, and Team ACBSP will again be represented. If you are interested in joining Team ACBSP, contact Eliza Guyol-Meinrath at eguyol@acbsp.org. Visit the Global Management Challenge exhibit booth at the 2013 ACBSP Annual Conference or their website to learn more.

This article by John Pulley has been excerpted from the Fall 2012 issue of Lumina Foundation Focus magazine with permission from Lumina Foundation. Access the full issue at http://www.luminafoundation.org/publications/focus/2012-11.html.

A Two-Year Treasure The nexus of the sub-baccalaureate movement in the Dayton area is Sinclair Community College. In marked contrast to the city’s moribund downtown area, the two-year institution bustles with activity. On a typical day, the campus teems with thousands of students who reflect a strong demographic cross-current. This is no idealized college campus, no ivy-covered ivory tower for well-off teens and twentysomethings. Sinclair’s students have back stories. In other words, they live and learn in the real world. “Only about 20 percent of college students in the United States fit that perfect world (model),” says Steven Johnson, Sinclair’s president. The other 80 percent “have other commitments. ... They need to feed their families.” Most of Sinclair’s students have neither the money nor the time to spend four years on a residential college campus, but “they can get an amount of education that ... is recognized by employers as valuable.” he says. Dayton draws its students from area high schools and area businesses, from the unemployment rolls and the ranks of lifelong learners. In 2009, 5,757 displaced workers enrolled at Sinclair. Some already have four-year and advanced degrees. Surveys conducted on behalf of the college indicate that about half of Montgomery County residents have enrolled at Sinclair at some point in their lives. In 2011, Sinclair worked with 43 of the Dayton Business Journal’s top 50 employers and provided training to more than 266 companies. Sinclair provides Defense Acquisition University courses that prepare people for jobs at Wright-Patterson Airforce Base — the U.S. Air Force’s main buyer and the Dayton area’s biggest employer.

Since 2010, Sinclair has added academic programs in growing fields such as cyber investigation technology, energy management technology, geographical information systems, special medical imaging, veterinary technology and unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Analysts predict that UAS will be a multibillion-dollar industry with many applications, including precision agriculture. Most people know of the technology because of the military’s use of drone aircraft. ... Sinclair awarded about 4,300 degrees and certificates in the 2011-12 academic year, up from 1,538 degrees and certificates awarded in 2002-03. The college offers 172 different degree and certificate programs and, at a time when postsecondary education and training has become an economic imperative, “we’re reaching deeper into populations that normally wouldn’t go to college,” says President Johnson. In fact, in the past five years, the number of degrees and certificates awarded to women and African Americans has doubled at Sinclair. The practicality of sub-baccalaureate credentials accounts for their growing popularity, Johnson says. Certificates are affordable, take less time to attain than degrees, and “provide a knowledge, skills, and pay boost without having to be an all-or-nothing” proposition,” he says. “Certificates are career booster rockets.”

College-Level Learning....continued from page 8.

The notion that a certificate or an associate degree is somehow inferior to a four-year credential is quaint, and flat-out wrong, insists Johnson. He thinks of sub-baccalaureate credentials as distillations of degrees that require more time and money to attain. “Society has been calling for modularized education for a couple of decades,” Johnson says. “That’s what certificates are.” He explains it this way: The recipient of a bachelor’s degree who majors in history essentially has earned a certificate in history and a lot of general education credits that are unrelated to the area of academic concentration. “When you get a certificate from us, you get the major without the general education credits,” Johnson says. The vast majority of certificates that Sinclair awards are derived from associate degrees, which are “time-honored units of study and achievement embedded within bachelor’s degrees. Indeed, 4,500 Sinclair students transferred to a university in 2010-11, a marked increase from the 2004-05 academic year, when the number of transfers totaled 2,550. Sinclair is also the lead institution in Ohio for a four-state initiative called Completion By Design. The goal of the initiative, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is to work with inter- and intra-institution partners to help students complete a credential — an industry certificate, institutional certificate, etc. — that will lead to gainful employment. The aim is to create “better-defined on-ramps to streamlined programs of study that allow students to finish more quickly in significantly higher numbers,” says Sinclair’s communications office, adding that the college seeks to increase its graduation rate “by at least 40 percent” among students in the 2015 graduating class. The college recently began implementing the Completion By Design plan, which it hopes will be the model for a cadre of institutions across Ohio. The state could also look to Dayton for another model — one that aims to bolster economic competitiveness through inter-organizational collaboration. “Learn to Earn (Dayton) could be the most significant community-wide initiative that we take on in the next decade or more,” says Phil Parker, president and chief executive officer of the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce. He says the initiative “looks at pre-K and Ph.D. and everything in between. That includes certificates and two-year degrees.” Learn to Earn seeks to correct fallacious thinking about the connection between education and work. First, the

business community hopes that educators will come to see that educational attainment has value that is more than merely intrinsic. “To business leaders, education is a means to an end,” Parker explains. “It provides a capable, qualified workforce. Ultimately, it’s about people getting a job, being successful and having a great quality of life they can share with their family. ... That’s a different mindset from education being the end product.” ... Too many communities believe that simply raising degree attainment will strengthen their economies, Parker says. Increasing the attainment rate matters, he says, but only if the additional credentials are meaningful — that is, if they embody the skills needed by employers. Certificates and two-year degrees have the flexibility to do that. “In a community like ours, historically heavy into manufacturing, not everyone requires a four-year degree, but employers are asking for more than a high school diploma,” Parker says. Sub-baccalaureate credentials that promote employment while also providing stepping stones to four-year degrees constitute the “sweet spot,” Parker adds. The Dayton area’s two-year institutions — Sinclair, Clark State, and Edison State community colleges — provide “a great feeder” to area institutions that offer four-year degrees. The key, say Parker and others involved in the Learn to Earn effort, is to forge a system that works well in both directions — one that fosters strong relationships between businesses and education providers, and also offers programs that lead students to further opportunities in higher education. “We’re trying to connect all the dots now,” Parker says of efforts in Dayton to better align education and corporate interests. “We want people to build careers, not just have jobs.”

After 146 years, KingCollege will change itsname to King University,effective June 1, 2013. Established in 1867,King is one of the oldest private institutions of higherlearning in the Southeast. Known for its consistentlyhigh academic standardsand for producing qualitygraduates, King has beenlisted among America’s Best Colleges in U.S. News & World Report for the past 23 years and The Princeton Review’s Best Schools for the past nine years. “It is with pride and great excitement that we announce the decision by King’s Board of Trustees to approve changing our institution’s name to King University,” said Dr. Gregory D. Jordan, President. “This change reflects the master’s-level, comprehensive benchmark that our school has reached in recent years. We believe the word ‘university’ more accurately reflects the current diverse range of our academic programs and ultimately enhances the value of a King degree for past, present, and future graduates,” he said. After about a year of discussion and based on the school’s unprecendented growth over the past decade, the name change was recommended by the administration and approved by its Board of Trustees. Significantly, King has more than doubled its student body since 2005, with fall 2012 enrollment at approximately 2,400 students — the highest in its history. King’s Graduate and Professional Studies (GPS) program, launched in 2001, and more recently, the development of the School of Graduate and Professional Studies & Online Programs helped pave the way to expanding academic programs and accelerated growth.

Becoming a university is the natural unfolding of King’s strategic plan, unveiled in 1998, and updated triennially, to create an even broader mix of programs based on a university model. Using this approach, the institution now has six academic schools of learning:

• King College of Arts and Sciences• King School of Business and Economics• King School of Education• King School of Graduate and Professional Studies & Online Programs (GPS)• King School of Nursing• Peeke School of Christian Mission

Notably, three of the GPS offerings are advanced degrees — a Master of Business Administration (MBA), a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and a Master of Education (MED). Also, the school plans to add doctoral programs in the future. “All of these factors place us within a newer, much broader context of higher education and learning — and the name change to ‘university’ best reflects the broadening of our academics, our accelerated growth and best positions us for future growth,” Jordan said.

Our exhibit areas in June will feature 30 exhibitors while about 10 are expected at ACAM in Orlando this week. The IACBE conference registration fee for members is $595 or $695 depending on the date of registration, while ACBSP’s member fee is either $550 or $650. To compare what each conference offers and judge the value of each, one can com-pare what is offered in the IACBE conference promotional booklet versus what is offered in the ACBSP conference promotional booklet. The differences speak to the value offered by ACBSP. Our staff size is 11 in the ACBSP headquarters office in Overland Park, Kan., while IACBE has five staff members. ACBSP owns its condo office space without a mortgage. IACBE is renting office space in nearby Lenexa. Another difference that can be a barrier for discussions is membership qualifications and dues structure. ACBSP requires regional accreditation for members in the U.S.A. and documented government approval for schools outside the United States, while IACBE does not have such a qualification standard and membership is open to “any academic business unit whose parent institution grants business degrees at the bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral level…” Several IACBE members will be adversely impacted unless ACBSP lowers its standards. Other persons adversely affected will be individual members who enjoy some IACBE membership benefits without the requirement that a campus be a member. These would be points of discussion. Our membership dues are based on the number of campuses — IACBE dues are not. A small number of IACBE members would find increased dues amounts and the differences may be dramatic. However, the large majority of IACBE members would see their annual dues amount reduced by about $1,000 if the ACBSP membership dues model is adopted. ACBSP membership dues are $1,350 for members and $1,950 for accredited members. IACBE annual membership dues are $2,450 for members and in 2014 the IACBE dues for accredited members will be $2,950. The savings will be even greater for the approximately 20 members who are members of both organizations as only ACBSP membership will be budgeted rather than dues to both organizations. Only one reaffirmation will be required, not two which is the current situation for them. There will also be savings for the approximately seven exhibitors in Orlando who are also exhibitors at our conference in June because a combined organization would result in a combined conference and only one payment to travel and exhibit. It is my hope there will be a definite decision from discussions by the IACBE Board in Orlando. If the decision is to decline the invitation to discuss, it can be put aside again for another number of years, but maybe not nine years. If the decision is to accept, I hope the progress will move more quickly than it has at this point in time. I invite comments from ACBSP members or IACBE members regarding what is being proposed. I have shared with you my thoughts as Executive Director.

Did You Know?In 2012, 36 campuses presented 50 Student Leadership Awards. This is a marked increase from

2011, when 24 campuses presented awards. Since implementation of the Student Leadership Award

program in 2008, 65 campuses have ordered awards — seven from associate degree schools and 58

from baccalaureate/graduate degree schools. To learn more about how you can recognize student

excellence on your campus, visit http://www.acbsp.org/p/cm/ld/fid=68.

This is the statement released earlier by our office. It communicates the pride we have in ACBSP and the members we serve.

The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) has experienced tremendous

growth in recent years, with more than 1,100 member campuses in 52 countries. We have a vibrant,

diverse membership that includes public, private, independent, proprietary, faith-based, and

Historically-Black Colleges and Universities. We are the only organization offering accreditation to

all degree levels from associate to baccalaureate to doctoral degree programs. By virtue of having

such a large and diverse group of higher education members — both in terms of geography and

institution type, we have long been familiar with the challenge and delicate balance required to

ensure a certain level of quality across the board while at the same time remaining cognizant of the

diversity of programs available. This emphasis on quality is part of our culture. ACBSP accreditation

standards are modeled on the widely recognized Baldrige National Quality Program and its Criteria

for Educational Performance Excellence, which provides a systems perspective for understanding

performance management. They reflect validated, leading-edge management practices upon which

an institution can measure itself and engage in a process of continuous improvement.

This column in this issue is my last as your President. It has been an eventful year with many successes. I hope to see many of you in Salt Lake City as the gavel of leadership passes to Charles Beem.

Message From the President...continued from page 3.

Kappa Beta Delta has had a busy spring with students applying for the Dr. Andrew Ste-venson Merit Scholarship. “We not only had a record number of applicants, the caliber of students applying this year made the com-mittee’s task extremely difficult,” said Deb-bie Gaspard, Secretary/Treasurer of KBD

International, chair of the Scholarship Committee, and KBD Faculty Advisor for Southeast Community College. “Many of our students achieve academic success while facing remarkable obstacles. The members of both the Scholarship Committee and the KBD Board are happy to recognize their accomplishments,” she said.

Because of the extraordinary amount of applications re-ceived and the strong pool of candidates, the Board is in-creasing the number of recipients from nine to 11, each receiving a $1,000 scholarship. Two recipients, Jason Chan and Monica Diliberto, both from Skyline College, are pictured right with Dr. Regina Stanback-Stroud,

president of Skyline College. The names of all 11 recipi-ents will be announced on the KBD website with press releases issued in May.

Kappa Beta Delta currently has 56 chapters and more than 9,500 members and continues to grow. As many of our KBD students get ready for graduation ceremonies in May, please plan ahead and order your KBD gradua-tion memorabilia at the KBD e-Store.

DMD Board Chooses New Director for Society

H o n o r S o c i e t y N e w s

Delta Mu Delta welcomes Dr. Roger Smitter to DMD’s leadership team as director of the Society. He came on board March 4 to begin working with Dr. Michael LaRocco, who is introducing him to the traditions and people of our Society.

Smitter brings both academic and leadership experience to his new position. With degrees in speech and a doctor-ate in communication, he taught speech for a number of years, chairing the Speech Communication Department at North Central College for six years. From 1999 to 2004, he served as the director of graduate and undergraduate programs in leadership at North Central. His academic career also includes Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Chesapeake College in Wye Mills, Md. From 2004-2009, Smitter served as Executive Director for the National Communication Association (NCA). One of Smitter’s accomplishments while Executive Director was creation of the first media outreach office to raise NCA’s profile as well as an online magazine.

Asked about his interest in the director position with DMD, Smitter responded: “When first I read about Delta Mu Delta, I realized my career-long commit-ment to undergraduate education and leadership development could be a good match with the DMD mission to create a community that recognizes and encourages excellence in business education. I am very happy with this opportunity and look forward to working with officers, board members, faculty advisers and central office staff so committed to creating the next generation of business leaders.” Delta Mu Delta looks forward to benefiting from the experience that Dr. Smitter brings to the Society as its new Director.

A Conversation with...Diana HallerudAssistant Director of Accreditation

We congratulate Diana, who recently earned a Master of Business Administration degree from Northwest Nazarene University.

Why was it important for you to pursue a master’s degree? As a specialized accrediting body for business programs, I believe it is important for me as an employee to have a good understand-ing of business education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Completing the MBA degree has been a personal goal for several years and has increased my overall understanding of business operations and knowledge of the curriculum at the graduate level.

Who were some of your supporters along this journey? Supporters include Board members and my family, especially my husband who has done more than his share of cooking and cleaning and kept encouraging me to keep going. The business school faculty at NNU, especially Ron Galloway, Sam Dunn, and Brenda Johnson were ex-tremely supportive and provided encouragement all through the process. What are some strategies you learned that you can apply directly to your job? Strategic planning, communication, management, and financial strategies can all be applied to my position either through direct responsibilities or serving on committees.

How has your role as Assistant Director of Accreditation evolved? ACBSP has grown both in the num-ber of members and staff over the past nine years. As my understand-ing of the standards and criteria has increased, I have conducted more training sessions for both ACBSP processes, evaluator training, and requirements for the standards. I also work with schools to arrange site visits and assign evaluators to teams.

You are traveling more than ever before to remote locations for ACBSP. Name some of those places and describe what you do on those visits. I have traveled to several cities in India as well as to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Most of time is spent visiting ACBSP member institutions and providing training on standards and criteria. Our ACBSP hosts are always gracious and provide exposure to local cuisine and culture, such as a countryside nomadic tribe home in Mongolia and observing Indian elephants being bathed in the river at Kodanad, Kerala. I feel truly blessed to have these opportunities.

With each quarterly issue of “ACBSP Update,” we introduce a member of your staff as a way of bringing our global community a little closer together.
