  Absolutely right! We should definitely shut down all Department of Education educational minimums as well! Those are just used to control the populace anyway. And the FDA? That's just a way to control what we put in our bodies! The SEC and financial regulations? When's the last time they helped anyone? ... That was sarcasm, in case someone is experiencing a Poe moment. In all these cases, the rules and regulations help some more than others, and may even be abused to help those with connections.

A n agency with clear and transparent rules as to how to score institutions and what is considered true and what is considered false could do some real good. It could also be abused, but I don't think the idea should be immediately discounted before we explore how it might work a bit more in depth.
