Op. 79, 11405 words, ARTICLE: Note: Dinosaur TRACS: The Approaching Conflict Between Establishment Clause Jurisprudence and College Accreditation Procedures, Timothy Sandefur (J.D. 2002, Chapman University School of Law; B.A. 1998, Hillsdale College.) Quote from article (concerning Government financing of higher education in USA): But to avoid the problem of "fly by night" schools, the law required (and still requires) that the grants be spent only at accredited institutions. 6 And it permitted the Commissioner (now the Secretary) of Education to draw up a list of accrediting agencies whose judgment in such matters would be respected. 7 But no criteria were set forth by which the Commissioner was to compile such a list: the Commissioner's decision was "essentially ministerial." 8 This was not a mere oversight: both the government and the colleges recognized the need for a wide range of academic freedom from government regulation.
