Update: Accreditation Ombuds Dropped from Higher Ed Bill

After seven years of effort, U.S. House and Senate negotiators have resolved differences and agreed on a bill to amend and extend the Higher Education Act of 1965. The 1,158-page legislation is expected to reach the House and Senate floors on Thursday. In the process, a provision of the House version that would have created a federal Ombuds to resolve accreditation disputes was omitted. (Chronicle of Higher Ed.; Text of H.R. 4137.)
