This Is A Great Opportunity To Destroy Academia

I’ve been in the Junior College system. Have you? I just told you one of the problems with it, because I’ve seen it first hand. I guess you’re trying to say the current system is the best we can do. I think it needs to burn down to the ground. You can keep trying to win an internet argument; that seems to be what you’re all about. Best wishes to you.

Liberty University is already are accredited by multiple accreditation organizations. And at least one of those accrediting organizations promotes transferability of credits as one of their benefits.

So all I'm doing is forcing a delinking between classes and any given university by ensuring transferability, and forcing more support for online classes. Thus more competition.

An accreditation board is less likely to be pushing indoctrination in easily reviewable curriculums than an individual school or individual teachers.

Online teachers are less likely to be pushing indoctrination than teachers in more private classrooms.

From their website...

"School Accreditation: SACS COC and TRACS "Programmatic Accreditation: ABET, ACBSP, AOA, CAATS, CACREP, CCNE, CEPH, CSWE, and NCATE

SOS COC "Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Colleges is a regional accreditation agency. Credits will transfer more reliably from regionally accredited colleges than any others.

TRACS "Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, Accreditation Commission is a national accreditation agency. National accreditation is primarily awarded to specialized, vocational, or trade colleges. Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology is a programmatic accreditation agency.

ABIT "Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology is a programmatic accreditation agency.

No.

You and Schlichter both. But once you have destroyed it then what? That's been my question all along.

Destroy the bastards. I despise my college. It has been over-run by radical leftists.

Whatever serves the market’s needs the best.

Obviously, we need a system that identifies qualified workers at a cost lower than existing 4-year colleges. As noted upthread, employer aptitude tests are legally problematic. Sorry, I don’t have an answer other than the existing system is destroying this country. I saw it in my own daughter.
