Well, I suppose there ARE prestigious non-accredited schools out

And really haven't been looking, truth to tell. My days of worrying about
such things are one with the snows of yesteryear, for which I'm heartily
glad.

My best contact in HR is on the East coast
at the moment, but I'll try to remember to ask where she got a list
of 3 meter pole colleges in the USA. I _think_ she found it on a
Department of Education web site (www.ed.gov might be a start), but
it could just as easily have been a DoJ site relating to consumer
fraud.

Probably DoEd, if anywhere. ISTR, though, that various federal departments
and agencies maintained their own lists. One of the strangest - or it
seemed to me at the time - was DEA/DoJ approving educational expenses for
one of their employees at what has morphed into American Intercontinental
University. This particular yo-yo had been forced to leave more federal
agencies than you can count (y'can't fire 'em, y'know, but you can
encourage 'em to look for greener pastures and make sure you get rid
of 'em by giving a decent exit performance evaluation) and had ended up at
the El Paso Intelligence Center where folks rapidly learned he needed
training wheels for everything he touched. Anyway, he tried to have Uncle
buy him a MSCS from AIU but couldn't hack even their courses. Don't get me
wrong, I think most - not all, but most - feds are pretty good people, but
there are those who are the exceptions that prove the rule.

Now, understand, I think I know what you mean - it's what I'd mean
when speaking of accreditation - but without at least an operational
definition (point at a thing and declare it to be a member of a class
of similar things [ that's a chair ]), there's a lot of room for
disagreement.

That's true - and that's why a sheepskin is not a golden pass. It's
an indication, but one of many that need to be involved.

Try telling a lot of HR folks that! Same's true with certifications.


I was going to say one of the blatant give-aways in resumes/CV's
is language use. Now I think of it, though, there are far too many
graduates of prestigious universities who can neither spell nor write
intelligibly.

in spite of the usual buzz words on the requisition/advertisement about
communication skills. Face it - many of the graduates of the current
US educational system lack the reading skills and in consequence every
other skill set that is influenced by reading books. Math? Science?
Engineering? World knowledge? I think the funniest one I'd ever
heard of was the idiot who not only mispelled the name of the
university, but also had it in the wrong town - also mispelled.

When the first two years of college are taken up in remedial work, doing
what the secondary school system should have done ...

Yup - humidity has been right up there.

Wa'al, y'all have the worst of it, seems to me. 100+ temps and high
humidity .. And folks wonder why I left Phoenix/Motorola for more
salubrious climes.
