Conservative States Propose New College Accreditation Agency

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and a group of five other conservative-led states are working to establish a new accreditation agency, the Commission for Public Higher Education (CPHE). This initiative aims to challenge existing accreditors, which they refer to as 'woke accreditation cartels,' and promote 'intellectual diversity' on college campuses. The new agency could begin accrediting institutions as early as this fall, potentially reshaping the higher education landscape.
