PARITY Act
The PARITY Act modifies the Higher Education Act by removing specific regulatory requirements related to institutional accreditation. This change directly affects colleges and universities by eliminating the need to comply with the repealed provisions regarding their status and oversight. The bill achieves this by amending Section 487 to delete a specific paragraph and an entire subsection that previously imposed these rules.
