First Amendment Limitations on Accrediting Agencies in Determining Eligibility for Federal Aid to Education.

Thal, Steven

Journal of Law and Education, v8 n3 p327-35 Jul 1979

Considers the First Amendment implication of broad-based requests for information from accrediting agencies by the federal government. Concludes that much information in such requests is sensitive and clearly deserves First Amendment protection for those students not themselves seeking any governmental assistance. (Author/IRT)
