Education Secretary Linda McMahon has called for changes to the college accreditation system, arguing that current accreditors hinder innovation and create barriers for new institutions. Her recent statements follow an executive order that seeks to diversify accreditation processes and make it easier for colleges to switch accreditors. McMahon contends that accreditors, particularly the American Bar Association, hold too much power, which stifles competition. While she has shifted focus to other priorities, rethinking the accreditation system is set to become a major goal for her administration.
McMahon criticized the American Bar Association and accreditors, stating there is 'a monopoly on accreditors' and that the marketplace would benefit from competition.
She noted that accreditation was a barrier to launching new institutions and argued that the president's vision emphasizes the need for more competition.
