Reforming Accreditation to Strengthen Higher Education

The order directs federal agencies to reform the system of higher education accreditation. The Secretary of Education is instructed to hold accountable accreditors who fail to meet recognition criteria or violate federal law, including those who require institutions to engage in unlawful discrimination under the guise of "diversity, equity, and inclusion" initiatives. The Attorney General and the Secretary of Education are also directed to investigate and take action against unlawful discrimination by American law schools, potentially impacting their status as accrediting agencies under federal law.
