AACSB International extended accreditation for the University of San Francisco’s School of Management after a review that included a direct warning to institutional leadership about sustaining momentum under continued budget cuts. Reviewers praised the school’s progress on societal impact and its landmark curriculum redesign, but they told the president, provost, and dean that faculty and staff risk burnout if cost-cutting continues without support. The formal ratification followed an AACSB International Board of Directors vote, with USF President Salvador D. Aceves citing “transparent and courageous” navigation of the financial environment and highlighting student outcomes. For other business schools, the event is a governance signal: accreditation is not only about curriculum artifacts, but also about resourcing stability and capacity to implement improvements over time.
