dc.description.abstractIn Chile, university administrators may appeal to a secondary agency to challenge the accreditation decisions of the primary national accreditation agency. The study analyzes the appeal judgments, using an empirical approach to identify arguments used by the secondary agency to justify its decisions. The analyses identify several factors, such as improvements since the last accreditation, faculty productivity, and financial standing, as the most relevant predictors of appeal success. The appellate agency, however, tends to emphasize the absence of deficiencies or weaknesses associated with these factors when it grants an appeal, sidestepping the primary agency's criteria and standards for accreditation. Such an approach may be appropriate given the heterogeneous landscape of the Chilean higher education system, providing leeway to drive excellence in more selective institutions while maintaining some minimum standards in less selective ones.
