Biden Administration Accidentally Does Something Useful in the Migration Business
By David North on June 7, 2021

The Biden administration has, totally by accident, done something useful in the immigration policy business — and the Washington Post’s account, typical for the media, ignores the migration aspects of the move.

What the administration has done, at the Department of Education deputy under secretary level, is to take a step to put out of business a controversial accreditation agency long known for having low standards when judging colleges, including those known for giving visas and work permits to all aliens who apply, but giving the “students” very little education.

The entity involved is the Washington-based Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, which went through this process about five years ago, but was saved by the intervention of the then-Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, a well-known advocate of for-profit schools and colleges. There are some 60 mostly for-profit schools with ACICS accreditation, a small number compared to half a dozen years ago.

Some "for-profits" are scamsters, "teaching" skills of little value while getting $$ from student loans. Others, such as De Vry or University of Phoenix are for real and their grads pursue careers based on their education (speaking as a 1970s grad from one of those who did). OhBummer! tried to shut down all, not to get rid of the scamsters, but to eliminate competitors of government universities and elite private universities and colleges. Biden is probably renewing OhBummer!'s assault.
