Policy changes across the higher education landscape are expected to continue this year, affecting operations and students. Institutions will be under intensified accreditation pressure from the federal government, potentially reshaping accreditation regulations. Ongoing Title IV investigations by the administration continue to expand. Over 2,600 federal research grants are cancelled or suspended, though funding priorities of the administration have begun to emerge. Additionally, in-state tuition rates for undocumented students have ended via executive order.
