US Education Department Proposes Major Higher Education Policy Revisions

The U.S. Education Department is proposing significant new regulations for higher education, including an overhaul of college accreditation to mandate "intellectual diversity." These proposals also seek to align federal grants with presidential policy priorities and require universities to certify compliance with new anti-DEI policies to receive funding. Such changes could have a substantial impact on institutional funding, admissions practices, and academic freedom across higher education.
