Regional accreditation remains a central method of accountability in the United States and the gatekeeper to federal financial aid. Without such funding many colleges and universities would not survive. Prior research suggests that Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) face disproportionate accreditation sanctions compared with other institutions. Focusing on colleges and universities in the southern states, this study used logistic regression to test whether HBCUs have higher odds of being sanctioned than other institutions after controlling for characteristics such as budgetary resources and graduation rates. Results demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between HBCU-status and negative accreditation actions.

审查中的多样性：HBCU 和区域认证行动

地区认证仍然是美国问责制的核心方法，也是联邦财政援助的看门人。如果没有这样的资金，许多学院和大学将无法生存。先前的研究表明，与其他机构相比，历史悠久的黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 面临着不成比例的认证制裁。本研究以南部各州的高校为重点，在控制了预算资源和毕业率等特征后，使用逻辑回归来测试 HBCU 是否比其他机构有更高的被制裁几率。结果表明 HBCU 状态与负面认可行动之间存在统计学上的显着关系。
