    I hope so. NACIQI voted to renew ACCSC's approval for three years instead of five.

    "Alioto’s concerns were backed up later when an outside public commenter, Michael Itzkowitz of the think tank Third Way, presented to the committee members his report finding that 69 of 174 ACCSC schools showed low-income students failing to out-earn high school graduates 10 years later; that is, many ACCSC schools leave students worse off than when they enrolled."

    On a related note, David Halperin seems to hate every accreditor.

    Perhaps. But you won't be able to tell without insight into their operations.

    ACICS did accredit some schools that were clearly under-performing--or worse. But it blew up from the inside.
