Honolulu University - Another Camouflage

A further check at the folloing website reveals another interesting claim:

Accrediting:-

Unlike most countries, in the United States there is no national procedure for licensing or accrediting universities and colleges. Accreditation is voluntary and is not the function of the U.S. Department of Education. Because it is an International University, Honolulu University has chosen not to apply for accreditation from any of the regional accrediting associations in the United States.
It is however, a member, in full standing, of the “Academic Fuer Internationale Kulturund Wissenschaftsfoerderung” or “The Academy for the Promotion of International Science and Cultural” which accredits many of the foremost Universities and Colleges in Europe and the Near East. In the United States, each of the 50 states is empowered to own policy for licensing and awarding degrees.

Any feedback?

 

At least if they'd said that in verse, they could claim poetic license.

"... there is no national procedure ..."

Yes, there is. The DoE has a process whereby it hands the torch to the accrediting bodies. Yes, it is voluntary, but there is a national procedure.

Maybe it loses something in translation from Malay.

Ah, yes. APICS. Another in a long line of fraudulent accreditors. Their gambit, like many others, is to grant membership to a number of legitimate schools who neither applied for nor wanted to be members of APICS. Then, they point to the legitimate programs and claim "accreditation by association". Monticello, shut down by HI and KS authorities, was an APICS school.

Also, last I looked, APICS didn't claim to accredit its member schools... it used some sort of weasel-word language that implied that since APICS schools (the legitimate schools that were granted unwanted membership) were accredited, and their credits were transferrable, and since fraudulent school X is also a member of APICS, it's credits are likewise transferrable.

Clever millspeak, but definitely not truthful.
