Accreditation is accelerating into a regulatory hotspot as new federal and state requirements prompt accreditors to expand offerings and test institutions’ compliance more rigorously. AGB’s briefing warns boards to understand shifting accreditor choices and oversight responsibilities; failing to do so risks surprises during reviews and potential loss of access to Title IV. The Trusteeship magazine issue outlines practical board governance actions—endowment oversight, closure protocols, and student‑success alignment—urging trustees to integrate accreditation, financial sustainability and academic program reviews into routine fiduciary oversight. Boards should reassess risk registers, compliance staffing, and board education to meet faster‑moving accreditation expectations. (Source: AGB publications Trusteeship and AGB briefs.)
