Disputed
I added the disputed tag to this page in response to an edit by User:69.209.143.213. The edit is [1]. I'm not an expert on the subject and the edit was not very clean but I thought it might have some merit and needed to be evaluated. -- Mufka (user) (talk) (contribs) 14:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Looking into this a little bit it seems that this "school" is accredited, but by an unaccredited accreditation agency (?huh)[2]. Sort of like if I say I'm creating a new accreditation agency called Mufka's Accreditation Council and I'm going to say that the Genghis Khan School of Debauchery is accredited to give PhD degrees in Human Rights. $900.00 for a PhD (which is what they advertise) just isn't realistic and no one will take it seriously. With all that said, I'm removing the disputed tag but I still think the article has NPOV issues. Perhaps the article should be split into sections that 1. explain what the school claims to be and 2. valid and documented criticism. -- Mufka (user) (talk) (contribs) 15:25, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Excellent analogy. —Centrx→talk • 18:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
There are a number of dubious accreditation authorities - some are simply set up by the college themselves (e.g. QAC-UK and the Irish International University). I suspect that User:69.209.143.213 is being very naive if they assume that Suffield does, in fact, check students credentials or that the accreditation body actually audits what the college does.
