Accreditation is a process that involves evaluating the overall quality of an institution and its programs, including the qualifications and expertise of faculty members. Accreditation is institution-specific, and individual professors are not typically accredited separately. Instead, the accreditation process assesses the overall effectiveness of the educational institution and its ability to meet certain standards.
IRS 990 (Non-Profit Explorer: Council For Higher Education Accreditation
The Council for Higher Education Accreditation claims to be the national advocate and institutional voice for self-regulation of academic quality through accreditation — a non-profit organization with 3,000 degree-granting colleges and universities and recognizes 60 institutional and programmatic accrediting organizations.
In the United States, the accreditation of college and university programs, including the evaluation of faculty qualifications, is typically managed by regional accrediting agencies; each with hegemonic claims. They are united with a common interest in money coming from the U.S. Department of Education which controls money flow.
While the CHEA plays a role in overseeing accrediting bodies, the direct influence on the quality of facilities lies with the institutions themselves and the accrediting agencies that evaluate them.
Accreditation standards may touch upon aspects of facilities, but the day-to-day management and improvement of facilities are typically the responsibility of the individual higher education institutions.
The regional accrediting agencies in the United States include:

The original University of Michigan user-interest advocacy enterprise was participating member in this project* but that engagement was interrupted suddenly in October 2016 (See ABOUT). We have since picked up where we left off with the same people collaborating with Standards Michigan. ANSI remains the global Secretariat.
We maintain this project on the standing agenda of both our Global and our Human Resource colloquia. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

*We left off just as the ISO/TS 30411:2018, Human resource management-Quality of hire metric (QoH) standard was rolling out. The QoH was, and still is a performance metric for talent acquisition teams, critical for determining the effectiveness of the recruitment process and has a consequential impact on an organization’s performance. The QoH structure is intended to be scalable to the needs of any organization regardless of size, industry or sector and is relevant to people with an interest in workforce planning, organizational design and development, talent management succession planning, recruitment, and human capital reporting. Read more about ISO/TS 30411:2018 on ISO’s news site, and access it on the ANSI Web Store.

Regulation by enforcement refers to a regulatory approach in which compliance with regulations is achieved through the active enforcement of rules and penalties for non-compliance.
It involves regulatory agencies using their authority to monitor and enforce regulations, typically through inspections, investigations, fines, and other pretzel-logic actions against violators.
Regulation by enforcement is often used when regulations are designed to protect public health, safety, or the environment, and when non-compliance can have serious consequences. By actively enforcing regulations, regulatory agencies aim to deter violations and promote compliance among regulated entities.
However, regulation by enforcement can also be controversial, as it may be seen as punitive and costly, and can lead to legal disputes and adversarial relationships between regulators and regulated entities. Some argue that a more collaborative and cooperative approach, such as regulatory assistance and voluntary compliance programs, may be more effective in achieving compliance and preventing violations. The choice of regulatory approach often depends on the specific industry or sector being regulated, the nature of the regulations, and the regulatory philosophy of the governing jurisdiction.
