On March 11, 2022, in a joint statement, EQUIS, AMBA and AACSB announced they "decided to suspend all membership and accreditation activities with Russian institutions until further notice. For students, the accreditation designation remains valid, and business degrees that have been conferred under that accreditation status are recognized as being from an accredited school at this time." All Russian institutions have been removed from all three accrediting agency's website's directory of accredited institutions.[16] [17] [18]
