  At least in the USA, a university cannot become accredited until it graduates a class.

    Same in Canada.

    I think that the University of Phoenix should get appreciation for fighting and gaining valuable ground for non-traditional universities becoming accredited (in the late 70s) "The battle for accreditation was a battle for survival." -John Sperling, Founder, University of Phoenix "Institutional theory argues that legitimacy, rather than efficiency or efficacy, best safeguards an organization’s survival (e.g., Powell and DiMaggio 1991)."

      Bad link. I'm posting the fixed link below because there are so many good quotes about legitimacy and education sprinkled throughout. "Organizational legitimacy is perhaps nowhere more essential than in the field of higher education, because in several ways what higher education itself produces is legitimacy. Higher education certifies individuals as legitimate employees by awarding them degrees" Click under "View Document as HTML" http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/1/0/7/0/2/p107023_index.html http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/...
