Accreditation news To: gslisfac <gslisfac@qc.edu>, glisann@lists.qc.cuny.edu, glisadjuncts@lists.qc.cuny.edu Colleagues, We received the following message from the ALA Executive Board today. This is extremely good news for us moving forward. "The Executive Board of the American Library Association voted that COA’s decision to withdraw accreditation from the Master of Library Science program at the Graduate School of Library and Information Studies (GSLIS) of Queens College be remanded back to COA, and that COA be directed to reconsider the decision. The ALA Executive Board further directs that COA proceed with the previously promised site visit to Queens College GSLIS as scheduled (October 6-7, 2014) or at a later date." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mg Mary W.
