...the ABA forced these programs on law schools and threatened their accreditation...

Probably true, and not limited to the ABA and law schools.

I went to b-school and had to take some dumb "computer" tests to get a bi on an otherwise mandatory
computer skills class.

"I have a CS degree and worked on ..." "I know, but it's an accreditation requirement ..."

So I had to leave work early and take the dang competency tests.
