This website tells a story of WAUC (World Association of Universities and Colleges) and does NOT promote this organization. Make sure you understand the American system and don’t be a victim of the fake accredited organizations. You will find on this website full explanation of the official educational system so make sure to check all details.

WAUC was an organization set up and owned by Maxine Klein Asher (August 15, 1930 – May 19, 2015).
It was the hub of American World University, an unaccredited institution with more than 7,000 students around the globe which was commonly considered to be a diploma mill.

In 1993 she founded the World Association of Universities and Colleges (WAUC), an accrediting service unrecognized by the U.S. Department of Education, that gave its imprimatur to a host of alternative institutions.

Almost every day Columbus University and Lacrosse University, both of which are considered diploma mills by some government regulators, advertised in the back pages of USA Today. In bold type, they tout their accreditation from the association. That made Ms. Asher a central figure in the shadowy world of unaccredited higher education. Also, students getting geared up for the GED exam have become victims of these fraudulent practices. Shame!

American World University (AWU) is an unaccredited educational institution that offers post-secondary distance learning education programs that has no physical campus. It also is awarding academic degrees. AWU was set up by Maxine Asher in 1990, and first was headquartered in Rapid City, South Dakota, until it was forced out of the state in 2000.

American World University has never received any accreditation from any U.S. recognized accrediting body, though it is listed as ‘accredited’ by WAUC (the World Association of Universities and Colleges), another organization set up by Maxine Asher. 

AWU offers students the opportunity to earn college credit based on their life experience through distance education courses. The legitimacy of the school’s academic services are however disputed by many education professionals, and some say that academically, there’s nothing at AWU.

Twenty percent of high school students do not graduate with their class, usually, they drop during the high school exams for example 8% of all students who resigned from high school in NY did that during the Regents test.

The Regents test is a statewide standardized exam in core high school subjects and all students are required to take the test. Some students drop out during the Regents prep. That’s also the case in other states. New York uses the TASC exam for high school equivalency testing, other states use the HiSET, but most states use the GED Test for this purpose. You can use these free practice test and online classes for the GED or TASC on bestgedclasses.org.

In the same time, the demand for well-trained employees is increasing. The chance that people with a high school diploma will find a good job is much higher than those without a high school diploma and high school graduates are making higher incomes.

New York City Department of Education in the United States banned the use of 50 words in the exam schools for all levels of education. This is done to minimize the potential for unpleasant emotions among the students.

Some words are banned include birthday, dinosaur, Halloween, and dancing. As reported by the New York Post, the word dinosaur is prohibited because it could lead to evolution, and Halloween suggests paganism (not religious), and the word anniversary has the potential to create hostility among students who are not followers of the Jehovahs Witnesses to celebrate his birth.

In addition, the word poverty was also banned because it’s opposed to wealth, which led to some students feel excluded. The Department also forbids mention of the word divorce and disease. Continue reading “A Strange Rule In School Examinations In New York City” →
