No to CACREP
 

If one takes required courses and passes the NCE and is approved on the State level then why does CACREP have to be the deciding factor for Virginia.  Virginia wants to penalize colleges and universities that most likely are not state schools.  Just because a program is not CACREP approved does not mean that it is inferior and most likely could be superior to those who have gone through a lengthly process deemed necessary by just another organization that requires more fees, more dues, more paperwork.
