What is reaccreditation and why should I care about it?
Reaccreditation is like a giant peer review of the entire university that makes sure the university is actually doing what it is supposed to do, educating students. It's sort of like quality control in manufacturing. You should care because it is our chance to show other universities and the government how awesome we are, and in a broader sense that we should continue to exist.
