Abstract	The federal government has no constitutional mandate relating to education, and must deal with established institutions and private accrediting agencies. Federal-aid-to-education legislation implies that in order to be eligible for benefits, institutions must be accredited by nationally recognized, nongovernmental accrediting organizations, which must be recognized by the Office of Education. This has the effect of making accreditation the equivalent of eligibility. The problem of eligibility determination is explored, along with the role of the federal government, private accrediting agencies, and the states. Proposed solutions to the problem of eligibility determination are reviewed, and it is concluded that no responsible change will come about unless public pressure requires it. (Author/LBH)
