Higher Education Accreditation Changes: Free Inquiry and Diversity Policy Ban

New rules change how accreditation agencies evaluate colleges and universities. These agencies will not be allowed to consider diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, nor the racial composition of students or staff. The act aims to ensure greater free inquiry at institutions, with exceptions for religious institutions.
Key points
Accrediting agencies cannot consider diversity policies or racial composition of students/staff.
Colleges must ensure free inquiry, consistent with the Constitution or their own policies.
Religious institutions are exempt from free inquiry requirements.
Institutions can sue accrediting agencies for violating these new rules.
