“The US Department of Education’s Office of Postsecondary Education and the US Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights (HHS’ OCR) today notified the New England Commission of Higher Education (the Commission) that its member institution, Harvard University, is in violation of federal antidiscrimination laws and therefore may fail to meet the standards for accreditation set by the Commission. Pursuant to President Trump’s Executive Order, Reforming Accreditation to Strengthen Higher Education, both Departments have an obligation to promptly provide accreditors with any noncompliance findings related to member institutions.”

“The Commission’s ‘Standards for Accreditation’ state that its member institutions must adhere to ‘non-discriminatory policies and practices in recruitment, admissions, employment, evaluation, disciplinary action, and advancement.’ In light of HHS’ OCR’s finding that Harvard University is in violation of Federal civil rights law, there is strong evidence to suggest the school may no longer meet the Commission’s accreditation standards. ‘Accrediting bodies play a significant role in preserving academic integrity and a campus culture conducive to truth-seeking and learning. Part of that is ensuring students are safe on campus and abiding by federal laws that guarantee educational opportunities to all students,’ said US Secretary of Education Linda McMahon,” says the US Department of Education in a statement and yeah they want to turn Harvard into DeVry, lol.
