Accreditation of education providers in US is not perfect and not that static. Look how DETC evolved from Home Learning Council accrediting courses and associate degrees to an accreditation body accredits up to doctoral level degree programs.
Smaller liberal arts accreditation agencies came in to existence as well.
Accreditation of education providers is in many ways for consumer protection as well. Federal funding is for legitimate providers only.
Substandard providers still exist but no federal funds available to these less then wonderful entities.
