Good information.

If you accessed my article at

http://www.examiner.com/article/tuition-free-online-university-welcomes-students-from-america-and-the-world

you will see a video that includes Yale as one of the sites that are associated with this online university.

I haven’t checked this out as yet as the announcement that appeared in the Chronicle of Higher Education was only that it had received accreditation.

all I saw in the announcement was DETC as “accreditator”

While DETC has achieved some recognition it is still a “red flag” (sorry to have to put it that way, perhaps that’s a bit harsh too) for most academically-savvy people. And, most universities will not accept DETC coursework or credentials if presented to them.

Beyond that, I have nothing I can add. I have a higher regard for DETC than do most universities, I do not wish to knock it or the new school you posted. I just saw the DETC instead of one of the more widely-accepted “regional accreditation agencies” and so thought it necessary to post a cautionary note is all. People are smart and they can check things out for themselves...
thanks for understanding
