The state of Florida's university system just approved a new accreditor, and it's another victory for Gov. Ron DeSantis' push to overhaul academia.
The Florida Board of Governors on July 11 unanimously approved the creation of the Commission for Public Higher Education (CPHE), an alternative to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOG).
Five other states have signed on, including Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Tennessee.
