Cmon, any moron can get in, that means it is a scam. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.222.59.123 (talk • contribs) 18:44, 1 January 2007.

Really now. Can you back up that comment with facts? I don't attend there nor have I in the past. But if in fact any "moron" can be accepted, it does not mean that any "moron" can graduate. Piercetp 22:38, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Not to worry. The sourced information in the article makes it pretty clear that this is a school to be avoided.--orlady 23:16, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Why? Its accredited is it not? I did note that it is under probation. But if the administrators of the University do some house cleaning than they can set things right. Piercetp 08:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable alumni

Are there any, and if so, could we have a list? --Ashley Rovira 15:09, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

There is not any, it is not a real university!

So 139.76.128.71, please define "real university." Wikipedia defines "University": A university is an institution of higher education and research, which grants academic degrees at all levels (bachelor, master, and doctorate) in a variety of subjects. A university provides both tertiary and quaternary education.
I do not have any ulterior motive here. I never attended this institution nor do I plan on it (I would consider if there was a school of engineering but there is none.) But I really do get bothered when people make statements which they cannot back up. Piercetp 08:23, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I’m an Alumni! I don’t think I am very notable though. I do have a Doctorates in Educational Psychology (yes I got into a doctoral program with my AIU masters), and I now write curriculum for courses geared toward students with intellectual disabilities. I learned the foundation to writing good curriculum at AIU and felt I was properly prepared for my PhD program. And for the record “any moron can post in a discussion” but only a graduate knows they have to be able to back what they say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.86.199.131 (talk) 21:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


.............................................................................................................................................. As a person who has indeed attended the AIU Online BBA program, it is NOT a scam and if you cannot write or give proper acceditation in your writing you cannot pass. I had to prove I graduated High School, Prove credits to transfer a portion of them, I had to read significant amounts of text weekly, write a significant paper each week showing understanding of reading material and theory, participate in a weekly written discussion board, attend 2 live classes each week with competent instructors. This is not a paper mill University. I take offense to those who suggest otherwise. That is not to say that they did not have their problems initially but my experience there has been a reputable one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rwthompson63 (talk • contribs) 06:50, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New sources for SACS actions

Obviously, SACS redid their website and took down a lot of the old accreditation action reports. I've been able to find copies of the reports for the warning in June 2004 as well as the probation in 2005 and 2006. I already added the 2006 action to the article with a short summary of the principles. All of these sources seem to include the original reports from SACS, just on other university websites instead of the original source.

December 5, 2005] Report of AIU's initial probation

  • Southwest Accreditation Report Most of this document isn't relevant to AIU, but the full text of the Actions taken in December, 2006, are included in Appendix X.

I know the original sources are now dead links, but hopefully these can be used for any continued edits in this area. WeisheitSuchen (talk) 03:55, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
