Session 2 of the Accreditation, Innovation and Modernization (AIM) negotiated rulemaking focused on Version 2 of proposed recognition and accreditation regulations, with extended debate over (1) notification requirements when an institution changes accreditors, (2) whether the regs should broaden the definition of peer review, (3) timing and monitoring for nascent accreditors, and (4) adding definitions and expectations for academic freedom and research integrity. Negotiators agreed to caucus on several items and to submit revised language by noon the next day.
