UFlorida investigated by SACS

This issue continues to play out and has even gotten bigger.

It sounds like the politicians don't want to be held accountable so they want to somehow just keep moving their accreditation every 5 years. That's not how accreditation works. SACS is who provides accreditation for schools in the South. You can't just call up the New England accreditation agency and say hey accredit us! Doesn't work that way. Any other RA agency is going to look into why you want to be accredited outside of your zone. This is a HUGE red flag to all other accreditation boards. SACS doesn't need these schools. These schools need to maintain their RA accreditation or they will become NA at best which will cause enrollment to drop.

With the advent of "Institutional Accreditation," this is no longer the case.  Schools are not restricted to their "regional accreditors" and accreditors are no longer restricted to the schools in their regions.

That's not what I'm saying. Accreditation is a process. It's not like you fill out an application and a rubber stamp approval is done. If a college bounces around and lets their accreditation lapse elsewhere that is going to be a red flag to a new accreditation board. They all know what's happening in Florida. None of them are clueless. Why would they want this headache from Florida whining about politics when it's the politicians causing the problems?
