Accrediting Council for Independent College and Schools

[Johann]

 ACICS is likely within acceptable quality limits.  The Swamp is back in town.  Enjoy it - good and hard.

I don't think it is. Look at the various debacles of ACICS-accredited schools that brought this mess to the forefront. e.g. Corinthian. Students "defrauded at 91 campuses." https://www.ed.gov/category/keyword/corinthian-colleges

Is this kind of accreditation 'within acceptable quality limits?' No, it clearly isn't -and this is only one example. When ACICS was shuttered,  it should have stayed shuttered - like Trump University. My take - Betsy DeVos simply made a mistake - one that would please her boss, Donald Trump. I do not suspect her of any personal gain motive. I don't like what she did here, but I don't suspect her of anything like that. She may have been cajoled, (or not) but money? No.
