I looked at the information, but how I read it was that it wouldn't be
accredited by the ALA (which I'm guessing is the American Library
Association), but they are trying to get WASC approval (I don't know
what that stands for but it's an organization that does accreditation
for schools). So I imagine it like having a program that offers a degree
in a discipline closely related to legal that isn't approved by the
American Bar Association. I don't really see it as a problem. If it
really is heavy on the RIM side, I wouldn't care if Librarians approved
of it or not. No slam on librarians, mind you, but in my mind,
librarianship is distinct from RIM. Now the archives portion, maybe not
so much.

My understanding is that this is one of the first degree programs of its
kind, but it will not be an accredited program. I do not really
understand why it will not be accredited. Too bad, because most, if not
all, employers who offer Education Assistance would not support an
unaccredited program.
