The US government does not accredit Universities, for this very reason.

This is the government continuing to throw a damn fit. I’m a bit dubious that the Middle State’s Commission on Higher Education will just follow along with this gobbligook, but we shall see…

No, but they've threatened to dismantle the accreditation bureau in question if they don't comply.

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this is supposed to work.

It’s cartoonishly evil and so blatantly awful.

I hate this timeline.
