President Donald Trump is set to take aim at the college accreditation process with a new executive order Wednesday, a White House official says, his latest move to exact control over America's higher education institutions.
On April 23, 2025, former President Donald Trump announced his intention to issue an executive order aimed at reforming the college accreditation process if re-elected. The proposed order seeks to address what Trump describes as "overreach" by accrediting agencies, which he claims impose burdensome regulations on colleges and universities. The executive order would establish a new accreditation system focused on outcomes such as graduation rates and job placement, rather than on the current criteria that include diversity and inclusion policies. Trump's plan has drawn criticism from education experts and Democratic leaders, who argue that it could undermine academic standards and disproportionately affect minority-serving institutions. The announcement comes amidst ongoing debates about the role of higher education in the United States and the influence of political agendas on educational policy.
