the merit of the comparison is that there are dodgy schools that are accredited, and dodgy schools that are unaccredited. What seems 'too much to take' when a school is unaccredited becomes understandable and easily stretched within 'reasonable' limits, courtesy of huge payments to politicians, lobbies and their cronies.
University of Phoenix and Capella may be 2 examples.
I read that Phoenix too started as a basement operation.
Gentlemen, all schools were (are) unaccredited for an average of four years of their start up. John Bear jumped on Columbia Southern University when they first opened and called them a diploma mill. Once they received DETC accreditation, he then called them his make up saying of GAAP http://www.degree.net/guides/accreditation.html(which actually stand for: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
If George Gollin (George Dana Gollin, George D. Gollin) were actually qualified to be a CHEA commissioner, he could have said this.
