Holy Cross was notified recently that it has been re-accredited
for another
10 years by the New England Association of Schools & Colleges, Inc. Commission
on Institutions of Higher Education (NEASC).
In a letter to Rev. Michael C. McFarland, S.J., president of the College, Adrian
Tinsley, chair of NEASC, noted: "Continuation of College of the
Holy Cross's accreditation is based upon the Commission's finding that
the institution's fulfillment of the Standards for Accreditation is
highly commendable in virtually every respect. Moreover, we commend the College
for
the great seriousness with which it underwent the process of re-accreditation,
and for the thoughtfulness and candor of the self-study
which it prepared."
Writing to the Holy Cross community about the accreditation,
Fr. McFarland said, "This good news was not unexpected, but it was never taken for granted.
It is the result of more than one year's worth of effort by a committee of
faculty, administrators and students. They researched and wrote an important
self-study
document and, with the involvement of many members of our community, hosted
a visit by a team of NEASC officials to complete the assessment."
"The NEASC report indicates that Holy Cross is a vibrant and impressive institution
with many virtues," continued McFarland. "It is a wonderful tribute to the
hard work of all who participated."
