CCNH Applies for DETC - 4Knee Kate - 05-01-2009
As if Warnborough becoming accredited wasn't enough, another serious kick in the shorts for the clones is on the horizon. Alabama-based Clayton College of Natural Health, another of the clones' favorite whipping boys, is on the road to accreditation. This from the 4-30-2009 CCNH student newsletter:
Quote:As you read in the recent Holistic Times newsletter, we are in the application process for accreditation with an accrediting agency that is recognized by the United States Department of Education. We are not allowed to provide more specific information about this because the agency with which we are applying has rules that prevent us from doing so until the accreditation process is complete.
Applying for and completing accreditation is a lengthy and detailed process. Should CCNH be successful in its accreditation efforts, we will be able to offer accredited degrees in natural health, holistic nutrition, and holistic health and wellness. The college is in the early stages of the process, and we are discovering that we need to make a few changes to meet the requirements of the accrediting agency. This is good news for you, for the college, and for the natural health and holistic nutrition education community.
DETC is the only accreditation agency that prohibits applicants from publicizing their application, so it doesn't take a lot of imagination to figure where CCNH is applying. CCNH long has been a legit but unaccredited operation, and for those of us who appreciate independent, non-traditional education it will be nice to see them get official recognition of that fact.

You are right, this is indeed another interesting development. The clones are oddly silent in public about it. I wonder what cowardly attacks they are launching behind the scenes?
It appears CCNH has changed their curriculum, no doubt to comply with DETC doctoral requirements. All the PhD's and ND's are gone, while a new EdD is being introduced. Here is how they described in the current issue of Holistic Times, at pages 14-15:
Quote:Along with the decision to seek accreditation we learned that the college would no longer be able to offer the doctor of naturopathy degree or the doctor of natural health. We are confident that the master’s programs will meet the needs of new students interested in learning about and putting into practice the rich tradition and modalities of traditional naturopathy and the foundations and cutting edge principles of holistic nutrition.
While many people who enroll with CCNH seek to use their knowledge for personal and family wellness, industry news and research have shown the college that a master’s degree has become a recognized standard for professional practice. The number of people enrolling in the MS in holistic nutrition program has increased since the college reformatted the curricula to include more in-depth nutrition and science courses and practitioner education. To meet the demands of incoming students asking for a similar program in natural health at the mater’s level, CCNH will soon introduce its new MS in natural health.
CCNH is revising its MS in natural health program and folding our naturopathic and practice education into it. The new program will continue to honor the college’s commitment to support and promote the practice of traditional naturopathy, which is the cornerstone of the college’s educational philosophy.
For students who wish to earn a terminal degree with a focus on teaching concepts of holistic health and wellness, developing advanced research skills applicable to real-world problems, or employing research design processes in problem solving approaches to natural health, CCNH is proud to offer the first degree of its kind in the field with the doctor of education in holistic health and wellness. We believe this will become the preferred degree in natural health and holistic nutrition distance education for the student who desires to teach, educate, and contribute new knowledge to the field of holistic health and wellness.

Klempner seems to have a major grudge against Lloyd Clayton. The fat lady hasn't sung on this yet, but I'm looking forward to DETC giving Klempner another kick in the matzohs.

Haven't you read the program? To justify crapping on Clayton they will crap all over DETC for accrediting them. Homeless Gus, Tailpipe Chip, and friends will never allow themselves to be wrong.

As we saw when CCU was accredited, the clone party line then was that they had always been behind CCU, that they had devined in their infinite wisdom that CCU really was a good program and worthy of accreditation (notwithstanding that only weeks earlier they had been behind the Collins senate circus/inquisition.
It's the old Animal Farm bleating over there. Today it's "four legs good, two legs bad," tomorrow it's "four legs good, two legs better."
Quote:Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure. On the contrary, it is a deep and heavy responsibility. No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?
Yes, the clones know what's best for us, don't they? If they say Lloyd Clayton is bad, he must be bad. If Lloyd Clayton becomes accredited it must be because he has become good. What other explanation could there be?

yes that is actually a good news for the natural health and holistic nutrition education community...

Thumbs up to 4Knee Kate, who had this story back in May of 2009. The clones are just now discovering the "news."
Now it's official: http://www.detc.org/new_applicants.html

I read this as a call for cowardly attacks:

How can this be counter-acted, except by open and forthright support? All you "outsiders," let DETC know you support CCNH, Trinity Newburgh, and every other institution the clones have dumped on over the years.
