In addition to using vague language & unclear timelines, the CPHE plan states that the accreditor will be accountable to the states. This is at odds with any notion of a self-regulating community of scholars & permits state politicians to wield outsized influence over university operations.

Want to protest the Commission for Public Higher Education & its threat to the institutional autonomy of our universities? Share your concerns with CPHE by writing to them before March 4. Submit feedback here: actionnetwork.org/letters/subm...
