Hawaii College of Pharmacy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hawaii College of Pharmacy (HICP) is a unaccredited PharmD school in Hawaii. It is currently under investigation by the State of Hawaii's department for consumer protection for not following their regulations on non-accredited schools.[1]It is alleged that they did not follow their requirements for disclosure on not being accredited. Hawaii state law requires a school to declare clearly that it is not accredited by an organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

[edit] Criticism and Controversy

A Hawaiian news report noted the school "falsely assured students it would obtain accreditation and wrongly took over six (m) million dollars in tuition from some 240 students."[2]

The Hawaii College of Pharmacy was created by David C. Monroe (aka David Yacas) and Denise Criswell (aka Denise Nakajima).

Monroe and Criswell have been banned by the state of Hawaii from doing any business there until they pay $14 million in restitution and fines to the 240 students that they robbed. Around $1.2 million was recovered so far.
