The U.S. Education Department has reportedly restored federal recognition to the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, the controversial accreditor of for-profit colleges that saw its recognition revoked under the Obama administration.
The decision, reported by The Washington Post, has been largely expected ever since the department in September wrote in a letter to the agency, known as Acics, that it was in violation of only two criteria necessary for recognition and should be given a year to come into compliance.
