[edit] Connections
Breyer State claims accreditation from Central States Consortium of Colleges & Schools (CSCCS)[2] (which is not to be confused with the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, a recognized regional accreditor). The parent organization of CSCCS is AIHCP[3], which lists Breyer president Dominick L. Flarey as Executive Director[4]. Thus, BSU's claimed accreditor is controlled by the BSU president.
