The Department of Education’s Plans for Overhauling Accrediting and Innovation Regulations - Cheryl Dowd and Russ Poulin, WCET Frontiers

On Friday, October 13, the U.S. Department of Education published the unofficial version of its plan to establish an “Accreditation and Innovation” negotiated rule making committee. The final version should be published in the Federal Register today and includes the call for nominations to serve on the committee and three subcommittees. Quite simply, these discussions may result in the most sweeping set of changes witnessed in higher education in the United States since the middle of the last century. The issues highlighted for consideration are the very ones that will have a deep impact on our day-today operations. https://wcetfrontiers.org/2018/10/15/the-department-of-educations-plans-for-overhauling-accrediting-and-innovation-regulations/
