or satisfied by alternative means.
AASBI does not charge an admission fee, only nominal annual dues following accreditation.
5. Freedom of opinion and expression. Academe's reputation as a place of ideas - where freedom of thought and expression enshrined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Humans Rights is especially
valued and protected - is being challenged, in particular in authoritarian countries including P.R. China and Russia, as well as countries with religious blasphemy laws (Pakistan) imposing long prison sentences,
even punishable by death (Saudi Arabia). Universities in such counties ought not to be recognized/accreditated by academic/professional accreditation agencies. (Prominent US associations of collegiate schools
of business international do recognize; AASBI explicitly does not.)
6. Diplomacy. Trustee's (rightfully so) often favor agility and quick, decisive action, while faculty members (rightfully so) may favor shared governance and their right to weigh-in on matters of institutional
importance. "A sobering statistic: Faculty participation on presidential search committees has dropped recently for the first time in a century. As a result, presidents must negotiate a fine line, engaging with two
parties that are often at cross-purposes and mistrust each other."
7. Expeditiousness. Academic tradition favors discourse, deliberation, and inclusiveness, but today's presidents must make more decisions in shorter order. The notion, that faster is better is "a tangible
reality of today's higher-education leadership that has crept-in from the corporate world." Authors Mamlet and Murphy summarize, that presidential candidates must be qualified and able to meet inherent contradictions
in the must-have lists that search committees grapple with every day:
- The faculty wants a scholar.
- The board wants a money-raising entrepreneur.
- Students want an uncompromising advocate of diversity and inclusion.
- Lawmakers want reassurance that political correctness will not rule the day.<
Consequently, the average tenure of a college president in the United States was 6.5 years in 2016, down from 8.5 years in 2006; and it is getting shorter.

The State of Florida's Orwellian Stop W.O.K.E. Act
To fell university class rooms as 'particular market places of ideas'
The freedom of speech, opinion and expression enshrined in the constitutions of free and democratic societies is covered by AASBI's GAEP Statement 02
— the observation of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights — meaning that because of the "Stop W,O,K.E. Act" Flordia's business schools would be ineligible for AASBI Accreditation.
Consequently, AASBI does not recognize and accredit B-Schools in P.R. China, Russia and other such totalitarian states. America's largest international B-School accreditor fully accredits 30+ state-run Chinese business schools.

Judge Mark E. Walker text of order PDF in Leroy Pernell, et al. v. Bd. Governors filed Nov 17, 2022
The Individual Freedom Act, commonly known as the Stop Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees (WOKE) Act is a Florida state law which regulates the content of instruction and training in
schools and workplaces AGAINST the US Supreme Court's long history of shielding academic freedom from government encroachment and the First Amendment's intolerance toward government attempts
to "cast a pall of orthodoxy over the classroom." Keyishian v. Board of Regents. 385 U.S. 589, 603 (1967). "The vigilant protection of constitutional freedoms is nowhere more vital than
in the community of American schools [...]" Shelton v. Tucker, 364 U.S. 479, 487 (1960).
"With respect to regulating in-class speech consistent with constitutional
safeguards, this [11th US District] Court again pauses to distinguish between the State's valid exercise in prescribing a university's curriculum and the State's asserted interest in
prohibiting educators from expressing certain viewpoints about the content of that curriculum. The Supreme Court has long recognized that "[a] university's mission is
education," and it "has never denied a university's authority to impose reasonable regulations compatible with that mission upon the use of its campus and facilities." ,
454 U.S. 263, 267 n.5 (1981). "By and large, public education in our Nation is committed to the control of state and local authorities." Epperson v. Arkansas, 393 U.S. 97, 104 (1968). To that end,
universities may generally make content-based decisions "as to how best to allocate scarce resources or 'to determine for itself on academic grounds who may teach, what may be taught, how it shall be
taught, and who may be admitted to study.'" Widmar, 454 U.S. at 278 (quoting Sweezy v. New Hampshire, 354 U.S. 234, 263 (1957) (Frankfurter, J., concurring in result) ).
Democracy rests on robust protections of free speech and academic freedom, including
instruction about race and gender that the [state] legislature disfavors.
