On Wednesday, President Trump signed an executive order targeting college accreditors, aiming to alter the higher education landscape he perceives as biased against conservatives. This order is part of a broader series of education-related measures intended to confront elite universities, particularly in their hiring, admissions, and curriculum practices. With access to federal financial aid hinging on accreditation, Trump's order raises concerns about institutional independence, as critics argue it undermines academic standards while responding to calls for dismantling diversity policies in education.
Trumpâs executive order on college accreditors aims to shift higher education away from policies promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, which he views as hostile to conservatives.
According to the White House, the order would facilitate easier transitions between accreditors for colleges and allow new accreditors better access to federal approval status.
