- Both CSAB and ABET have procedures for handling complaints that a
- currently accredited program may no longer meet the criteria. This
- involves an investigation of the complaint (which must be signed), and
- possibly a site visit if it appears necessary to get to the bottom of
- the matter. These procedures can lead to revocation of accreditation.
