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.

No, this was DeVos all over. She doesn't believe in public anything. Everything should be private and for-profit. This is why she was put in the position to begin with, even though she had no qualifications for it. She was there to pull out the teeth of the department she was hired to manage, just like all the other unqualified people put in charge of departments that were supposed to look after the public good (EPA, FDA, NOAA, etc.). They were specifically hired to tear down regulations and create a financial bonanza for those who put money above all else.

Like Trump "University."
