Talk:Stratford University

message: Stratford University's accreditor, ACICS, is now recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council of Higher Education Accreditors (CHEA). The adverse action taken by the last administration has been vacated and the status of ACICS has been fully restored by the Secretary of Education. In addition to institutional accreditation, Stratford continues to be programmatically accredited by ABHES, CCNE, ACF, and CEA. Health Science programs are accredited by ABHES. The nursing program is accredited by CCNE. The hospitality and culinary arts programs are accredited by ACF. The ESL program is accredited by CEA.
Revised accreditation status of Stratford University is pending further review.
"After the decision by District Court Judge Reggie Walton, the Department of Education will be tasked with reviewing additional documents that the judge found were improperly overlooked in 2016. And the order issued by DeVos last week laid out additional details for that review process that will mean the accreditor must meet fewer requirements before accreditation is restored."
The recognition of ACICS by the Department of Education is not permanent yet, as a legal requirement to review all documents was not met when it was invalidated in 2016. Most institutions have already applied for accreditation elsewhere, including Stratford University.

thread_title: Accreditation

message: I finally found a reference to Stratford's benefit status and changed all relevant wording. It is included in the B Labs listing. This is the most accurate and reliable source for Benefit Corporation status.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by VirginiaTechGuy (talk • contribs) 16:23, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I have provided several WP:RS sources which describe Stratford as for-profit. If you want to change that in the article, you will need to provide a reliable source that supports your description. Without a ref, your content is original research. We have the article Public-benefit nonprofit corporation and the category 'Category:Public benefit corporations'. Once you provide a reliable source, it may make sense to wikilink the article and/or add the category.Dialectric (talk) 00:46, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The Wikipedia page for Stratford University reads like an advertisement. Stratford University is a for-profit college that has been labeled as a visa mill.  And it is accredited by a questionable accreditor (ACICS). According to the College Scorecard, student outcomes include a 25 percent graduation rate and a 24 percent student loan repayment rate. Typical debt after graduation is $32,625 and earnings after school are $35,500.CollegeMeltdown (talk) 16:18, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reads like an advertisement 

message: Ssg2442 has repeatedly reverted others' edits to restore material that is inappropriate for this article, including a detailed listing of degree programs and descriptions of routine services and units such as the "Welcome center."  The restored material also has several WP:MOS issues such as bolded words and common nouns capitalized.
I encourage our colleague to (a) discuss these issues here in Talk instead of edit-warring with multiple editors and (b) review our standards for college and university articles.  ElKevbo (talk) 20:07, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Way too detailed (and POV, too) 

message: This article made the claim that Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) had designated Stratford University as "military friendly." VA does designate any schools as "military friendly." Need to review the entire article for false and misleading claims. CollegeMeltdown (talk) 03:16, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  False and misleading claims 

message: I would appreciate a discussion this time before a significant amount of information from the Stratford article is deleted. Until just recently, the article sounded like an advertisement rather than a source for information about the school.--CollegeMeltdown (talk) 13:24, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
