I thought most accreditation was handled by regional organizations.
One possibility is closing down the department, while moving a couple of functions (like student loans) into another department. That might tie in to whatever SWF proposal it was that included student loans in the fund.

I wonder how much of that can just be done at the state level anyhow. I'd prefer the federal government to have as little power as possible. Realistically if they have to exist at all, it should have a much more limited scope.

It could all be administered at the state level, or just not at all. The problem is that it's probably a program created through Congress, which means they would have to specifically modify it.
Something they could do is just block grant the funding to the states and let them administer their own programs. That's how Medicaid works. Of course, Medicaid sucks, so it might not be the model to follow.

I'm certainly not the best person to give an opinion on the specifics of policy. All I know is the more people standing between the provider and recipients of money, the less money makes it to the recipients.
