Abstract
One of the direct outcomes of the 1960s struggle for social equality in social work education was the clarification and enforcement of the Council on Social Work Education's Accreditation Standard 1234A. The attempt to clarity 1234A has led to discussion and criticism centering on its vagueness and unmeasurability, and the difficulty encountered in assessing compliance with it. This paper discusses some of the major criticisms of 1234A, identifies some of its important features, suggests how it currently is being evaluated by site visitors, and presents a planning instrument and committee procedure that may prove useful in implementing and evaluating compliance with it.
