That's the problem with accreditation. It too often comes down to money and someone's opinion. In this case the judge saw it differently from the accreditor. I would prefer each state to decide what it will accept. I would expect that the states would get together and come up with some general guidelines to follow while still allowing for individual differences. This then becomes rule by law and not passing the buck to some small outside group to say what is good or bad. We the people would at least have some influence over what a state agency does. With these private accreditors we have no say so at all.
