The Accreditation Committee shall consider the accreditation reports and other pertinent materials submitted in connection with the accreditation of an academic program and, after due deliberation, shall recommend to the Board on accreditation, or continuance, or reinstatement of accreditation, for those academic programs which have applied for and have been reviewed and which, in the opinion of the Accreditation Committee, have met the criteria for accreditation; and shall also recommend to the Board the denial, revocation, or suspension of accreditation when, in the opinion of the Accreditation Committee, the program has ceased to comply with the criteria for accreditation established by AABI.

Criteria Committee

The Criteria Committee shall be responsible for the preparation of the criteria upon which all programs in aviation seeking accreditation or reaffirmation by AABI will be evaluated. Each year the Committee shall review all criteria and, where appropriate, shall recommend to the Board such changes as may be needed to improve upon the quality of aviation programs, the accreditation process, and the promulgation of criteria appropriate to the education of an aviation professional. All proposed changes in criteria relating to aviation programs shall be sent to the educator member representatives of AABI-accredited programs for comment by program faculty, students, and administrators (allowing an appropriate period of time for comment) prior to the proposed changes being adopted by the Board.
