Unlawful to Discriminate Against Unaccredited Degrees

Bill, I'm not sure that I understand your question. I'll try to explain how the law works, maybe that will help.

The law says that an employer who has not specified that a degree must be in a certain field can't refuse to recognize a degree merely because the degree is issued by a school that is religious exempt, rather than a school that is state approved.

The AG said fine, no problem, PROVIDED that the standards to achieve religious exemption are sufficient to be comparable to the standards used for a state-approved school. So the legislature wrote such standards, agreed to by all of the major parties.

To which you may say, well, isn't the new exemption just state approval in drag? To which I say, Preach it, Brother. They are now fairly similar. They have to be, because the state now forces *secular* employers to treat them the same way.

 

Lerner's English Improved?

DesElms,

Are you implying that Lerner is either 1) a screen name used by two or more individuals of varying ability to fake an Eastern European personna or 2) a sole individual attempting to pass himself as an Eastern European immigrant (for an unknown reason but quite possibility relating to a lack of maturity)?

There is definitely some incongruity to his posts. His English skills generally vary from somewhere between mediocre and lousy, but occasionally his posts show a more sophisticated command of the language. I don't think that it can be attributed to "cutting and pasting" other posts or something similar.

 

What do you think of NAIT-accredited degrees in Industrial Technology ? Some of them - eg San Jose State's BSIT in Computer Electronics - are within hailing distance of a TAC/ABET-accredited Engineering Technology (BSET) degree.
