The House Education and Workforce Committee held a full committee mark up on Wednesday, advancing seven bills, including two on accreditation, the Accreditation for College Excellence (ACE) Act of 2025, and the Accreditation Choice and Innovation Act. The ACE Act aims to prohibit accreditors from considering partisan, political, or ideological factors such as DEI or accessibility policies when evaluation institutions. The Accreditation Choice and Innovation Act, which was introduced five days before the mark up, would require accreditors to use measurable student achievement outcomes.
