ACICS
The decline of ACICS continues. As its accredited members seek other accrediting agencies, what future can there be for this beleaguered organization whose only purpose was to facilitate the victimization of American taxpayers and students?
Following the vote referenced above, ACICS sent the following message to its member schools.
“June 24, 2016
Dear Member Institutions and Colleagues:
The National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI) voted yesterday, Thursday, June 23, 2016 to send to the Senior Department Official (SDO) of the U.S. Department of Education a recommendation to deny recognition to ACICS. The SDO has 90 days to make a decision, based in part on the recommendations from the Committee and the Department staff, which also recommended a denial of recognition. ACICS will continue to exhaust its opportunities to inform the SDO before the record is closed. As more information becomes available, it will be shared with all ACICS colleges and schools.
It should be noted that students, graduates, employers and other community members provided articulate and supportive testimony to the Committee regarding the value and quality of education received at ACICS colleges and schools. That support fortified the efforts to secure a favorable recommendation from NACIQI, and are much appreciated.
Regards,
Anthony S. Bieda
Executive in Charge”
