No, the suitability of a faculty member is not a function of the background
of that faculty member alone. Since this question only arises in instances
where faculty members have atypical qualifications, it only can be answered in
the context of a particular school. Relevant questions focus on the
contribution that faculty member is expected to make toward the mission of the
school and the cohort of other faculty members in the school. AACSB
International accredits programs offered by institutions, it does not certify
individuals. A corollary to this is that an atypically prepared faculty member
may not have raised questions in one school but could raise questions in
another school with a different mission and different faculty composition.
