Americas Accreditation Council (AAC) - Eleanor - 07-29-2026
Hello Everyone,
has anyone come across the Americas Accreditation Council (AAC)? This is seemingly linked to the Accreditation Agency of Curaçao. I am being flooded with posts and articles from them on my LinkedIn feed. Their current focus is supporting and accrediting "AI-native" institutions.
https://www.aac.cw/
Any thoughts/views on these two organizations and accrediting AI-native HEIs?

Why?
I am not looking for an accreditor, as my elite private university only exists for a very short time each year.

Posted in good humor, with an allusion to my very own SAS the Chief's University.
Curiosity: Do you know why this entity is marketing itself to you?

I can only assume that either a contact is associated with them, or because I once clicked on an article.
Digging deeper into this - Americas Accreditation Council and Accreditation Agency of Curaçao point to Stephen Parscale (Chief Accreditation Officer of ACBSP) as Head and whom I happen to know.
These two orgs also point to Global Humanistic University (Anguilla and Curaçao), as well as KMU Akademie amongst the very few members. Especially KMU Akademie caught my attention, because it is managed by Michael and Mario Grabner. Their father and KMU Akademie founder Helmar Grabner runs Global Humanistic University, and also has an "affiliation" with the Americas Accreditation Council and Accreditation Agency of Curaçao.
This draws a circle, sorry - network - which may or may not be a coincidence. Very interesting imho....
