Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has launched a lawsuit against the Biden administration and the US Department of Education over accreditation agencies controlling federal aid for students. The lawsuit, filed in Fort Lauderdale federal court on Wednesday, argues that a federal law requiring colleges and universities to submit to private accreditors to qualify for federal funding is unconstitutional and challenges the authority of the accreditors and Secretary Miguel Cardona and other federal officials. The timing of the lawsuit coincides with DeSantis imposing a conservative agenda on Florida’s education system as he seeks the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
