If colleges don't adhere to standards of giving their students a certain level of education any degrees they issue are meaningless. Employers want the people they hire to have had the necessary education to perform the job they are filling. Therefore we have educational standards for colleges to adhere to. Do we want uneducated teachers in our schools? Incompetent engineers working on infrastructure? Doctors that only were taught the Bible? See where this is going? Without some sort of basic standard set by the government our education system won't work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-90456956337524631722022-05-07T18:37:42.153-05:002022-05-07T18:37:42.153-05:00The accreditation is more about not wanting govern...The accreditation is more about not wanting government strings attached.

A friend's daughter went to an unaccredited college and got her degree, then a Master's degree there. When I asked my friend why she didn't get a teaching job (my friend and her husband are both teachers) my friend got very vague and evasive. I checked the school out and learned it was unaccredited. The daughter now earns her living giving piano lessons.

They use "wordly" people when it suits them (doctors, dentists, nurses, repairmen, etc.) but they won't get educated like those people, and they depend on family to give them jobs. It comes across as wanting the best that people can give you but not giving much of anything back to those people. In other words, selfish and distrustful. It's their loss - they're missing out on a lot of good education and good work experiences with other people.

Regional accrediting agencies are responsible for assuring that colleges and universities meet certain standards in terms of their missions, operations, and activities in teaching and student learning, discovery and promotion of knowledge, and service. Unaccredited schools are not eligible for many kinds of federal support and their students may not qualify for federal financial assistance. My nephew had a unaccredited degree from a church college. He had a very difficult time finding a job, because potential employers did not recognize his degree. Likely Travis will have no problem, because the Clark family run the college and the church.
