The University of North Florida's process to change accreditors is facing delays from the Education Department, causing frustration among state officials who mandated the change.
Governor Ron DeSantis hailed SB 7044 as a means to dismantle perceived control held by faculty unions and accrediting bodies over universities, reflecting tensions in Florida's education landscape.
The tension stems from past conflicts with SACSCOC, which questioned state policies that might conflict with academic freedoms, ultimately leading to Florida's new law requiring accreditation changes.
The Florida Board of Governors has publicly criticized the Education Department, alleging intentional delays in the University of North Florida's accreditation transition, igniting concerns about compliance with state law.
