    With credentials like this, how could anyone question the credibility of CULA? Taken from their website:

    “City University Los Angeles maintains a corporate account with the United States Postal service, Express Mail Delivery. The institution has had, but has not used in recent years a non-profit bulk mail permit.”

    Are they seeking full accreditation from United Parcel Service?

    Their web site also offers the following:
    "In October of 2001, the institution was informed it was awarded full accreditation through AAPS, which itself had been acquired as the official accrediting agency of the Uaxashaktun Ministry of Education."
    How many other schols can sat that?

    Note how a CULA typo could read UCLA!!!!

    LOL!

    My understanding is that Uaxashaktun is an alternative spelling for the Washitaw Nation.

    See also The Service Center (one of two websites authorized by the Empress). This one explains that Uaxasaktun was a pre-Mayan spelling of Washitaw. (Strange that the pre-Mayans used the Roman alphabet in their spelling.)

    Actually, their non-bar JD enjoys considerable prestige among the non-bar bar...

    Ian Anderson: Note how a CULA typo could read UCLA!!!!

    John: Indeed. This is why UCLA took legal action 20 or more years ago, resulting in CULA giving up its "of." At least it was gone for a long time. Is it possibly back now?

    As for their accreditation, in the last catalog I got, they claimed it, by virtue of eminent domain, from the "Ancient and Sovereign Empire Washitaw de Dugdahmoundyah. See page 210, Bears' Guide.

    This is still the case -- see Ian's message. Uaxashaktun is same as Washitaw. Note that Uaxashaktun is pronounced WAH-SHAK-TOON -- i.e. something close to Washington. The Washitaws have some ersatz mythology that suggests George Washington was a member of the yet-to-be-invented Washitaw Nation.

    I believe CULA has operated without California Approval since the laws changed in 1989....?

    This institution(?) is still in existence and the non-disclosure of its complete lack of accreditation plus the .edu domain can easily deceive naive learners WELCOME TO CULA
