John Przypyszny Provides Insight on Department of Ed’s Push to Cut DEI Standards for Accreditors in The Chronicle of Higher Education

Education partner John Przypyszny was quoted in an article titled “2 Accreditors Say They Paused DEI Standards. That’s Not Enough for Trump’s Education Dept.” by The Chronicle of Higher Education.

The article discussed the Department of Education’s recent notices to two accreditors asking for proof that the organizations had “done away with diversity, equity, and inclusion standards.” In the notices, higher-ed officials said the accreditors violated federal law by maintaining DEI standards on the books, according to the article.

Przypyszny noted that the letters send a message to all accreditation agencies regarding the administration’s commitment to shuttering DEI standards and pressuring organizations to follow its agenda.
