Authority
[edit]The NACIQI operates according to section 114 of the Higher Education Act, though this act was most recently amended by Section 106 of the Higher Education Opportunities Act in 2008[1]. The statute details the areas in which the NACIQI should advise the Secretary of Education, and those areas are as follows:
- Establishing and enforcing accrediting criteria in the realm of higher education.
- Preparing and publishing a list of nationally recognized accredited institutions and agencies of higher education
- Determining the eligibility and certifying institutions of higher education
- Defining the relationship between the accreditation and certification of higher education institutions and state licensing practices with respect to institutions of higher education
Appointment
