A department official said he was unaware of the news before it was announced. CHEA's recognition is separate from that of the department and "will evaluate and monitor ACICS in accordance with ED's legal and procedural requirements," said the official.

On Friday, ACICS informed CHEA that it was withdrawing its application for recognition from the association. ACICS stated in a public statement that in December it was stated that the CHEA recognition committee recommended the association not to recognize ACICS. The move does not prevent the institutions it accredits from getting federal aid.

The committee determined that ACICS did not meet nine CHEA standards, according to the statement. CHEA had revised these standards and the changes went into effect in 2019. ACICS cited concerns about new standards in its statement.
