Warning: Someone is Suing DEAC

[sanantone]

Just in case any of you are thinking of attending a DEAC-accredited school, I just wanted to let you know that a member of Degreeinfo.com, and starter of a DEAC-accredited school, is suing DEAC. There are multiple threads there if you want to read the details. This lawsuit could turn out to be nothing, or it could turn out to be something that could make DEAC go under either from debt or losing recognition from the U.S. Department of Education. But, if they go the way of ACICS, schools will likely be given time to seek accreditation elsewhere.

Hypothetically, if DEAC loses recognition, there aren't many options for their schools. They would either have to go through the tougher process of becoming accredited by a regional accreditor or the abhorrent ACCSC. The other national accreditors are for specialized schools, such as ATS for religious schools.
