Some guy named Douglas proved these very points beyond a shadow of a doubt and with geometric logic in a research study he claims he conducted. It probably didn't hurt that the guy who thought up the project in the first place was on his committee, but if he had been at an Ivy League school he might have needed 15 more guys to write it up for him.

E.g.:
Quote:When State Approval was offered without a description, almost 96% of participants rated it at least "Somewhat Acceptable." Even after reading the provided description of State Approval, slightly more than 65% of participants still rated it at least "Somewhat Acceptable." This leads one to to conclude that two-thirds (or even more) of employers may accept degrees from unaccredited, but state-approved, schools.--Richard C. Douglas
