AACSB International extended accreditation for the University of San Francisco’s School of Management after a clean review, following years of enrollment pressure and financial strain. Reviewers told USF leadership that faculty and staff were at risk of burnout if additional budget cuts continued, even as they praised progress on societal impact and curriculum redesign. The AACSB Board of Directors ratified the extension after the site visit, with USF President Salvador D. Aceves citing transparent and “courageous” navigation of a difficult financial environment, along with landmark undergraduate curriculum changes and student outcomes. The decision highlights how accreditation teams are increasingly attentive not just to compliance and learning outcomes, but also to whether institutions can sustain improvements without operational collapse—an editorially relevant signal for other programs under financial pressure.
