Re: ALU School of Law DETC Accreditation Not In Near Future

More | Report Post

ALU may use the DETC Accreditation process as a lure or bait marketing
tool to bring new students to the law school that is in a process of
decline. Many times schools like ALU know that they can't and won't
attain accreditation status but they dangle that "accreditation"
carrot in front of students anyway, 1) to attract new students and 2)
to retain present students. ALU can't afford to loose any students or
its spiral of decline will accelerate.

At present ALU School of Law and Cal Southern are dangling the
accreditation carrot. DETC accreditation for ALU school of Law is
doubtful in near future. Don't get taken by schools that use
accreditation as a marketing tool to suck in students.
