As is well-known, politics is the art of influencing behavior. As is also well-known, America’s institutions of higher education uniformly behave with a political orientation that renders them exponents of leftism, socialism, communism, and antisemitism.

President-Elect Donald Trump is determined to extinguish that behavior. He’s identified a vehicle for doing so, too: The role played by educational accreditation agencies for colleges and universities under the Higher Education Act of 1965 (Public Law 89-329).

Under the HEA, the Department of Education approves accrediting agencies that the Secretary of Education determines to be reliable authorities regarding the quality of education or training institutions of higher education provide. The Department then publishes a list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies.

Trump has clearly stated his plans for Higher Ed accreditation:

When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics.

We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real standards on colleges once again and once and for all.

These standards will include defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, and eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs incredibly.

When the new accreditors take office, their mission will be two-fold: political and academic. Their political component will be to eliminate the Critical Race Theory, Diversity Equity & Inclusion, and antisemitism that have lately run riot on our college campuses.
