Accreditation Choice and Innovation Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to reform accreditation processes.
The Accreditation Choice and Innovation Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to reform accreditation processes. It mandates that accrediting agencies or associations cannot use an institution's religious mission as a negative factor in accreditation decisions. Institutions can file complaints if they believe an accrediting agency's adverse action fails to respect their religious mission. The bill also allows institutions to change their accrediting agency or association without Secretary approval if they notify the Secretary 10 days before the change.
