| Abstract | The author reports the dispute between Hawaii's Office of Consumer Protection and the American Academy for Liberal Education, as well as the supporter of each side, that raises questions of oversight of American accreditors' work with any foreign college. The Chronicle reported that the AALE accredited the American University for Humanities, Tbilisi Campus College, in the Republic of Georgia. However, that entity is linked to a Hawaiian degree mill, the American University of Ha-waii. The State of Hawaii found that the American University of Hawaii was operating illegally and had no authority to issue degrees, and that it had morphed into a new identity, the American University for Humanities, licensed in Mississippi, with offices in Delaware and tiny campuses in Tbilisi. Delaware also says that the American University for Humanities is not an educational institution in that state. But there is no federal law or standard in the United States to evaluate degrees from foreign institutions and no federal oversight of American accreditors' work with any foreign college as well. The bottom line is that American accreditors should not evaluate foreign colleges and universities. (ERIC). |
