b) Under the rules of confidentiality, no observer may be given access to Form 201, the Self-Study Report, previous accreditation reports, the draft of the Visiting Team Report, or any other confidential reports or documents. Representatives of any official and recognized accrediting agency or body, such as the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), should request and will receive these reports, for the purpose of evaluating the accreditation process, from the Executive Director before the visit. It will be considered a breach of ethics for any observer to request or pressure the chair or any member of a visiting team to have access to any confidential material. Observers are requested to refrain from making any such request.
c) The visiting team will be working on a very tight time schedule, and observers are requested to respect the purpose of the visit. Where observers are authorized to accompany a team, the chair shall inform the observers and the administrative head of the aviation program being visited of policies governing the observer's presence during the visit. Observers must agree to adhere to these policies. Should they feel that they are too restrictive or inhibit observation, they may appeal to the chair of the team. If they are not granted the privilege they request, they may write to the chair of the Accreditation Committee stating the cause of complaint. If, in the opinion of the chair of the visiting team, an observer is deemed to be interfering with a full and fair evaluation, the chair has the right to deny that observer any further observations of the team's work and shall document his action and the reasons for it in a supplement to the Visiting Team Report.
d) Institutions and aviation program(s) are asked to extend every hospitality to the observers, short of interfering with the institution's responsibility to present full and factual information to the visiting team.
