Academic Advisory Board

The Academic Advisory Board has the function of providing academic and other operational advise and proposals in the areas of academic, research, and educational activities. A primary task of the AAB is the formulation of policy, procedure, and criteria in the area of academic accreditation of relevant programs and activities. The AAB is therefore mandated to: establish guidelines, policies, procedures, and standards and criteria of evaluation in all matters in the area of accreditation, subject to the discussion and approval of the Board of Directors; determine policy, procedure, and criteria for a “hands-off” internal review by members of the Academic Advisory and Accreditation Board; determine policy, practices and procedures as well as of qualified agents for the realization of external review for purposes of accreditation; and provide interface with and communicative links to the professional associations of anthropology, especially including the American Anthropology Association and the Society for Applied Anthropology.
