      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      As an academic dean, you will be responsible for ensuring that your institution meets the state's standards for education. This includes understanding the specific requirements and guidelines set forth by the state and staying up-to-date on any changes or updates to these criteria. By asking about your familiarity with these standards, the interviewer is trying to gauge your level of knowledge and experience in this area and determine how well you would be able to fulfill this fundamental responsibility. Academic criteria could change from state to state. If you are relocating from another state for this position, assure the interviewer that you understand the difference, if any, between your last position's requirements and this one.
