Project 2025’s Quiet Weapon Against Universities
A new accreditation agency, the Commission for Public Higher Education, has been created in the US, aiming to increase competition and allow institutions to choose accreditors compatible with their values. The agency's creation is seen as a tool for destruction, potentially depriving institutions of federal financial support for student loans and grants.
The Commission for Public Higher Education is a new accreditation agency in the US. It was first suggested in the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. The agency's creation followed an executive order by Trump in April 2025. The order aimed to increase competition among accreditors. The agency has established test sites at 10 institutions in four states. It has also sought public comment on its standards. The agency's creation is seen as a step towards a full takeover of accreditation by the states.
