It is the policy of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) to maintain privacy in regard to all personal information that is collected from educators who volunteer to serve on accreditation Visiting Committees. WASC asks volunteers to supply personal information to verify their name, place of employment, and other background data in order to qualify them for participation.

WASC will not share or disseminate personal information to anyone outside of the direct WASC accreditation process. Private information will never be sold or shared with other educational or corporate agencies without written permission from the volunteer. The opportunity to update/correct information is provided each year for volunteers.
