Accreditation and Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act
There has been much discussion in the higher education and accreditation communities about the bill in the House of Representatives (H.R. 4508) to reauthorize the Higher Education Act, introduced in December 2017. The bill has been passed by the House Education and Workforce Committee and awaits moving to the floor of the House. Some of the discussion has been thoughtful and reflective, mostly focused on student financial aid and, to a lesser extent, accountability. Some of the discussion, both within higher education and without, has been quite partisan.
