WNU/KWU had a problem with success. The trolls seem to love attacking schools that are almost good enough. While we are led to believe that accredited schools are such wonderful institutions, they continue pumping out many graduates who can neither read nor write. Accreditation does not measured the quality of student output. They measure inputs that should normally produce a good output. Accreditors take the big private or state schools as the ideal and measure how well schools fit the mold.
Wyoming was getting quite an industry of almost respectable schools and has now run them all off. They set the bar too high and lost dozens if not hundreds of jobs and some not too bad schools. I don't know what's happening in Wyoming that they can give up an industry but looking around they don't appear to be all that wealthy. Even the last time I saw Old Faithful, it was little more than a sputter.
The nice thing about unaccredited schools is that they often provide an education at a fraction of the cost of other schools. I think the whole crackdown is more about guarding turf than maintaining quality.
