A higher education accreditor is looking to remove references to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) from its accreditation standards, opting instead to emphasize institutional excellence and student success.
The Western Association of Schools and Colleges’ Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC), which serves schools in the Western United States and elsewhere—including all campuses of the California state university system—has proposed to remove language requiring schools to explicitly commit to DEI in order to receive accreditation.
