I strongly oppose the current proposal to favor license candidates from CACREP accrediited programs over qualified candidates from other counseling training programs.  There is no empirical evidence to support the notion that graduates from a program that is CACREP accredited are better prepared than graduates from other programs.  Therefore it is not only egregious and unsubstatiated to discriminate between license applicants in this way, but it is also creating a falsehood and actively misleading the public.   I strongly urge you to opposed that proposal!

Sincerely,
