Faith-based schools should be 'very concerned' about Biden administration accreditation plans
Bob Eitel, the co-founder and president of the Defense of Freedom Institute and a former senior counselor to the secretary of Education, said the decision to revisit the accreditation rule is notable because the rule implemented in July 2020 by the Trump administration was the product of a lengthy rule-making process that achieved consensus from stakeholders.
Eitel expects the Biden administration to roll back those protections"because these issues bleed into their priorities regarding gender identity and the rights of transgender students and individuals." "The issue here historically has been that accreditation agencies — whether they are agencies that accredit institutions or whether they're agencies that accredit certain programs — often will require faith-based schools to adhere to accreditation requirements that are based in diversity, equity and inclusion or affirmative action, or directly implicate issues of LGBTQ rights in a way that contradicts the faith or the teachings of that faith-based institution," Eitel said.
"The current rule reads that a creditor must respect the institutional religious mission of a faith-based institution," he said."My concern is that the Biden Education Department will work to undo that protection for schools controlled by religious organizations."
