Com­merce stu­dents are before the bal­lot now. There are some good back­ground­ers out there. We scrapped ours because frankly, it was too dry. The import­ant les­sons com­ing from the his­tory are:
1. The rhet­oric behind accred­it­a­tion grew stronger with time. At first it was not being men­tioned, then there were short ref­er­ences, now there’s dir­ect citations […]
