The
Higher
Learning
Commission
(HLC)
has
reaffirmed
the
accreditation
of
Baldwin
Wallace
University
for
another
ten-year
period.
An
HLC
team
conducted
a
site
visit
to
the
campus
in
September
2017
and
offered
a
positive
review
of
the
University
in
late
December.
In
its
final
report,
the
five-member
HLC
review
team
noted
across-the-board
institutional
strengths
supporting
student
success.
"While
no
place
is
perfect,
Baldwin
Wallace
works
hard
to
provide
a
quality
education
for
its
students
and
to
be
a
force
for
good
within
its
local
community,"
the
reviewers
concluded.
"The
visiting
team
believes
Baldwin
Wallace
is
an
excellent
university
that
is
fully
deserving
of
reaccreditation."
Testament
to
ongoing
commitment
"The
affirmation
expressed
in
the
HLC's
final
report
is
a
testament
to
the
hard
work
of
our
faculty
and
staff,
day
in
day
out,"
said
BW
President
Robert
C.
Helmer.
"We
are
thankful
for
everyone
who
participated
in
this
important
review
process
and
both
humbled
and
grateful
that
the
HLC
team
recognized
and
acknowledged
the
passion
and
pride
our
BW
community
has
for
the
mission
of
our
great
university."
At
the
time
of
the
HLC's
standard
Year
4
Assurance
Review
in
2021,
BW
will
be
asked
to
provide
evidence
of
ongoing
assessment
and
program
review
efforts.
The
University's
next
HLC
reaffirmation/reaccreditation
will
occur
in
2027-2028.
