Instructors must be professionally competent in regard to specific preparation and recency of involvement in the field. The quality of instruction should be comparable to that on campus, with the same degree of concern for teaching tools and information resources. Necessary library materials must be available or accessible. Special provisions may be needed for the completion of course work when students are called from base. Regardless of departures from campus practice, grades should not be given until students meet all course requirements.
Integrity is essential among institutions offering programs on a single base.
Institutions placed in competition with each other in making bids to provide services must guard against the erosion of quality of instruction. To avoid negative aspects of competition, several participating institutions on a base should consult among themselves and with the military education services officer. In all deliberations and negotiations, it is expected that a high degree of integrity will be maintained. The military should not hesitate to initiate negotiations for the purposes of providing educational programs on base. When postsecondary educational opportunities are not being provided and when personnel on base express an interest in them, military officials should initiate the action necessary for securing such programs.
