特朗普政府大学认证体系改革提案送交白宫OIRA审查

华盛顿讯:据 Bloomberg Law 10月22日报道,特朗普政府酝酿中的大学认证体系改革提案已送交白宫管理和预算办公室下属的信息与监管事务办公室(OIRA)审查,提案编号为 RIN 1840-AD82,进入正式发布前的审查环节。报道称,这是对已有百年历史的大学认证体系规模最大的一次重塑尝试。
根据已披露的内容,提案包括:禁止高校推行被本届政府视为歧视性的多元、公平与包容(DEI)举措;要求以学生毕业后的实际成果衡量高校表现,而非只看投入与流程。认证是美国高校获得联邦学生资助的门槛,认证机构受联邦政府委托,负责核定高校取得联邦学生资助的资格。
据 Inside Higher Ed 此前报道,若相关程序在11月1日前完成,新规将于2027年7月1日生效。目前提案在 OIRA 的审查结果,将决定这套改革能否按期落地。
Trump Administration College Accreditation Overhaul Sent to White House OIRA for Review
Washington — The Trump administration's proposed regulations to overhaul college accreditation have been sent to the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) for review, Bloomberg Law reported on October 22. The proposed regulations, RIN 1840-AD82, are now at OIRA, according to OIRA's website. The proposal represents one of the most expansive attempts at remaking the century-old college accreditation system.
The proposal includes provisions to ban universities' diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that the Trump administration views as discriminatory, and to measure student outcomes after graduation. Accreditation is the gatekeeper for federal student aid: colleges must be accredited by an Education Department-recognized accreditor in order to receive federal student aid, and accreditors are entrusted by the federal government to certify a college's access to that aid.
According to earlier reporting by Inside Higher Ed, if the process is completed by November 1, the rule would take effect on July 1, 2027. The outcome of the OIRA review will determine whether the overhaul can proceed on that schedule.
