As countries establish basic criteria and processes for accrediting
institutions, care must be taken to ensure basic criteria for accreditation
apply to all institutions, but that the criteria do not become so
specific as to preclude the emergence of new types of programmes and
institutions. The status report for Latvia cautioned against standard
requirements relative to the number of faculty who hold doctoral
degrees. One problematic issue concerns the standard traditionally
used in requiring that the institution employ full-time faculty.
According to Foster (2002), increasing numbers of faculty in traditional
institutions are ‘‘moonlighting’’ at other institutions, some of
which are not accredited. As more private institutions emerge in
transition countries, the salaries they pay are likely to draw faculty
from public institutions (Collinge 2004). In Estonia (2001), where
faculty salaries in public institutions are high compared to those in
other transition countries, this concern already has emerged.
