Ca State Approved colleges and post-secondary institutions are legal and valid... In fact, of all the states in the nation, California has...by far, the most rigorous process for state approval. California's "state approval process" was unlike Alabama and Wyoming's, where the school basically had a business license to operate, with little or no actual oversight. California though, provided rigorous oversight, when reviewing these institutions, and protects the students from being exploited by potentially "less than wonderful operators, that have a history of selling worthless paper, much like what Bear did for many years, until he "flipped" and became a "stoolie", for the accreditation mafia. He has unsuccessfully tried to railroad many "approved" schools, with excellent track records... along with his sock-puppet, Contrerass! I believe the BPPE could receive nationally recognized accreditation all by themselves, as New York has done. The BPPE schools allow students who graduate from these outstanding colleges/universities, to stand for licensure as nursing home administrators as well licensed clinical psychotherapists. The state grants reciprocity to it's student graduates as well, (including myself), who have worked for years with the state, all due to MY STATE APPROVED DEGREES! as well as my experiential background and skill set. I also have a regionally accredited degree as well, and a certificate and high school diploma, to add to the educational mix. "State Approved Schools" are every bit as rigorous in coursework, and as legal as "ANY" regionally or nationally accredited school. "That's the fact Jack"!..a la Bill Murray
I remember when the BPPE was become law again back in Oct. 09. I remember, how Bear was on many blogs, posting like crazy..."wringing his hands"...hoping the Governor would not sign into law the new BPPE and it's new set of state regulations, that oversee the valid, legal, non-ra schools in the state. He was sounding like he was supportive of it's return, but I believe just the opposite, I think he was hoping that the bill would not pass in Sacramento, that re-established state approval for unaccredited post secondary institutions of higher learning. In psychology, we call this phenomenon "reaction-formation"...it's one of those eight, heavy duty defense mechanisms. Contrerass and Bear don't like California's State Approved Colleges. It really chaps their hides...LOL!
