During a 13-year period starting in 2008, the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) raised concerns more than 30 times that colleges affiliated with the Center for Excellence in Higher Education (CEHE) were potentially failing to meet standards for quality, honesty, and other attributes crucial to students and taxpayers alike. And yet, CEHE never fixed the vast majority of these problems. This issue brief looks at the rules guiding accrediting agencies and details the long list of actions to examine how an accreditor could ostensibly follow all its rules in overseeing an obviously troubled chain of schools without putting a stop to the company's waste and abuse until far too late. Moving forward, Congress and the Biden-Harris administration should seek to strengthen the rules for accrediting agencies, take aggressive action to ensure that the colleges causing serious concerns are not allowed to continue collecting taxpayer money and enrolling students, and, above all, make sure that students enrolled in CEHE--and the many colleges like it--are entitled to relief.
