DeVos Restores Recognition for Troubled For-Profit Accreditor​ Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools - Andrew Kreighbaum, Inside Higher Ed

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos will restore federal recognition to a for-profit college accreditor for which the Obama administration withdrew recognition. DeVos will act on the recommendation of a senior department official who recommended in September that the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools be reinstated with the condition that it demonstrate full compliance with federal standards within 12 months. The decision means colleges overseen by the accreditor that failed to find recognition elsewhere will maintain their access to federal student aid. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2018/11/26/devos-restores-authority-profit-accreditor
