Not long ago I was talking to some friends who went to a non-accredited college, and I made a comment to the effect no one should go to a non-accredited school. A degree from such a school will not be accepted at an accredited school, so you have to “re-do” the degree in order to do graduate work. <\/p>\n
Tonight I briefly looked over an accreditation report of a college that I am familiar with, and my thought was, “who are these guys?,” “why are we allowing them to tell us what to do?,” and “is this not a classic case of being yoked with unbelievers?” In fact, I think it’s worse than a marriage relationship in this sense: the accreditation committee isn’t a partner, but more like a boss. So they can tell you to do things which are directly counter to your very purpose. I give one example which is not exactly true to this case but will make my point. The accreditation committee can demand that X percentage of professors publish X number of articles in certain approved journals. Now that may be a good thing in itself, but what if the professors\/institution have other priorities? It really seems a case to me where a Christian college has to make itself a slave to a non-Christian body in order to be awarded the necessary approval. I am essentially unfamiliar with the particular case I am mentioning, or with any others, and so I do not know whether there are unrighteous requirements or not. It’s just the principle that bothers me. And where it may lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
