Mayhaps it's just a little mudslinging to salve your ego over not being able to debate facts in any other discussion you enter. Touched a sore point there, did I? It was simply commentary on someone who implied merit of his un-named school by virtue of its having the same accrediting agency as NU or U of C. He chose not to mention that the same agency (NCA) also accredits juvie schools and cosmetology schools, presumably on the assumption that no-one would bother to check. Merit by association just doesn't work with accreditation agencies. That is all.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

warpedskydiver 0 #86 August 31, 2009 Yep, the school I attend owns the school you work for. And yours rates lower. I guess you think being a good student at my school means nothing at all, or that I cannot possibly be smart enough to go to a decent school and excel.That would show a lack of useful intelligence due to limitations by preconceived notions overriding common sense.

wmw999 2,452 #87 August 31, 2009 While Godwin's law cannot be invoked because there hasn't been a comparison to Hitler, usually by the time a couple of posters are comparing the (whatever) of their (whatever), any useful discussion is over. However, I would imagine that since Hitler didn't go to college, none of these institutions would qualify for a Godwinian comparisonWendy P. "Useful" only in that it doesn't progress the thread. However, as an aid to the popcorn industry it's not too bad. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warpedskydiver 0 #88 August 31, 2009 Yep and Devry University is ranked #69. The Campus I attend Ranks #1 in the midwest for all DeVry campuses. So far my Professors have taught at and or graduated from some very prestigious schools. Cornell, Loyola, Notre Dame, Princeton and a few others. Keller is no slouch of a school either, I was asked to attend. That was nice of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Higher Learning Commission of NCA accredits ALL schools that meet their criteria in Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, New Mexico, South Dakota, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Wyoming. That includes warpedskydiver's school, mine, U of C, Northwestern, Ohio State, Michigan State, U of Michigan, U of Wisconsin, U of Illinois, Indiana U, Purdue, Az.

warpedskydiver 0 #99 August 31, 2009 It was just my reply to Lyra who said I was throwing stones at kennedy while living in a glass house. I can only find that either she referred to my military service being like kennedy's or that my academics were like his, or both...If so that would be quite false.
