Accreditation boards seem to hold great power over Universities. Maybe one of them could take up the practice of admitting unqualified students to serve as entertainers. I don’t think that any university (including my own) which engages in this practice should be accredited.

AUBURN’S LOSS OF CONTROL
Auburn University’s loss of control of their academic program should be of major concern to the Southern Association, their accreditor. However, the last time SACS interjected itself into Auburn’s internal affairs, they were sued and forced to back off. The faculty that had complained to SACS were not happy. Generally, the accrediting guilds are limited to representing the core interests of their members. The history of Auburn and SACS shows just how deeply political these relationships are.
