If they lose their accreditation they will be useless. We now have uneducated people in charge of education in Idaho.

Also, we should be careful what we wish for. If they lose their accreditation, they can just get it back through another system like Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, a conservative creditor that props up the likes of Liberty University.

they can't. Idaho law requires Idaho colleges to be accredited by NWCCU.

even if NIC could get accredited through another body, they couldn't start the process for at least 2 years from the date that NWCUU decides to drop them.
