Former President Donald Trump said he would “fire” the existing accrediting organizations that oversee colleges and universities. | Seth Wenig-Pool/Getty ImagesFormer President Donald Trump is calling for a drastic expansion of the federal government’s oversight of colleges and universities, vowing to “reclaim” campuses that he asserts are “dominated by Marxist Maniacs and lunatics.
Under the plan, colleges would be required to remove all administrators involved in diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, whom Trump decried as “Marxist” bureaucrats. In addition, the plan suggests that colleges would be required to ensure that their curriculum defends “the American tradition and Western civilization,” though it does not provide additional details on what precisely that would entail.Trump’s pledge comes as DeSantis has made it a key priority to drastically reshape Florida colleges and universities., to restrict state colleges and universities from spending money on diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
Those rules are focused mostly on whether accrediting agencies have the capacity to properly assess colleges and whether accreditors fairly and consistently apply their standards as they make decisions.
