Accrediting Council for Independent College and Schools

[Alpha]

 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.

No, this was DeVos all over. She doesn't believe in public anything... 

Here's an article about the legacy of DeVos in the area of higher education
