inaccurate characterization

That is an inaccurate characterization of the process that lands a degree provider on the Oregon ODA list of unsatisfactory organizations.
Contreras is required by law to work at suppressing the activities of organizations that issue degrees in violation of Oregon statutes. He does so to great effect, sometimes triggering intense irritation on the part of those whose first college degree arrived from an at-the-time unaccredited school.

So Contreras had 2000 schools on his list. How much research did he do on each one? 100 hours would be the minimum to do any kind of job. So that's 200,000 hours of research or 1000 man years. I'm sure he spent 1 man month putting the list together off the top of his head. That may be how they do research at Princeton's nuclear physics department but it's not how it's done in the rest of the world.
