Summary
The Trump administration is considering a decision on the future of an accreditor for approximately 1,300 beauty and cosmetology schools, which could impact over 120,000 students' access to federal student aid. The U.S. Department of Education is reviewing whether the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) has complied with federal requirements, with DOE staff recommending continued recognition with restrictions, while an advisory committee suggested denial.
