Higher Education Act Reauthorization: Unwelcome Oversight for Accreditors and Colleges.
Malik, Joseph A.; Petersen, John C.
Community College Journal, v64 n1 p14-16 Aug-Sep 1993
Describes the negative impact of the 1992 Higher Education Reauthorization Act on community colleges and accrediting agencies, and identifies conditions that gave rise to the restrictive act. Discusses shifts of power between federal government, state agencies, and accrediting bodies. Views the 1992 amendments as flawed in treating all institutions offering prebaccalaureate vocational education alike. (PAA)
