There’s a bit of unpacking to do on this one. By “diversicrats”, she’s implying that higher education has been “captured” by administrators who promote diversity, inclusion, and progressive social values (which she refers to as “woke.”) Claiming that the federal accreditation system is a “cartel” suggests that it has a monopoly on what qualifies as quality higher education, which, yes. That’s literally its whole intended purpose. Ensuring quality in an education you’re paying good money for is not a negative thing. Many jobs will not hire you if you didn’t go to an accredited school, because the quality of education you received may not have actually included what you need to know in order to perform that job. Would you see a surgeon who went to a non-accredited school for his training? Is she suggesting that sham universities (like Trump University) should be treated equally with accredited institutions? (Trump University famously bilked people out of their money and taught them nothing useful.)

There’s nothing inherently wrong with bolstering trade schools and focusing on job readiness, but the absolute disdain Burke has for quality standards and modern values is incredibly off-putting.
