[edit] Bankruptcy

For accurate information on school, you must read:

American Conservatory of Music in Indiana is far from the original school of Illinois in old days. ACM is NOT accredited with NASM and The Commission on Proprietary Education of Indiana, COPE.

For accuarte information on their unaccredited status:

The please see Orthodox Church in Belize ACM History for more information concerning the bankruptcy.

You might want to modify what you added, since it's pretty much just copied verbatim from a copyrighted page. If you could just paraphrase a little more, it won't get deleted by The Powers That Be around here.--BillFlis 00:04, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

The original ACM went bankrupt in 1992 [1], but some people evidently have continued to use the name [2].

The Orthodox Church page is intriguing, mentioning "criminal mismanagement", makes one wonder what happened there. This page is interesting!--BillFlis 12:57, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

You probably need to do more revising of this site. It speaks too much from the author's point of view, and is not objectively voiced enough for encyclopedia quality. Also there may be an error regarding the "Noted faculty". Nadia Boulanger taught at the American Conservatory at Fontainebleau, which I don't believe is the same as the old Chicago school.Grinder22 17:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
