DETC accredits five, invites comments on four

No surprises. At their June meeting, they granted accreditation to the US Open University, Western Governors, Azaliah University of South Africa (but using the address of the less-than-wonderful New Mexico school they bought for some reason), plus a high school and a non-degree-granting institute.

Comments from the public are invited on four new applicants: Babel University (Hawaii), U of South Africa, Universidad FLET (FL), and Allied Business Schools (CA). I note that Southwest University, which had been on the applicant list a few weeks ago, no longer is. Comments by August 31; decisions next January 12.

 

Babel University. There is an interesting name. How in the world did they choose it.

It appears that those currently enrolled in EAU programs with be awarded the EAU diploma as opposed to the Azaliah College diploma.

Azaliah offers an interesting variety of degrees. I wonder if they will all be available here in the US through Azaliah University.

Might have something to do with the NM S/L 5.100.2 regulations and change of ownership ... any new license registration after 30 Sept 96 requires DETC or US DoEd recognised accreditor within three years.
