It is obvious that the writer has no idea about the system for university accreditation in Indonesia, nor about the time frame involved. It takes at least four years for a major to become accredited.

I have been working for President University for more than four years, during that time I have seen three majors accredited, with two more due in July this year. Not bad for a university that is only eight years old.

During the time I have worked for President University, I have had far less problems than I have had working for other colleges and National Plus schools here.

The Indonesian students, who know the regulations about accreditation, are still very happy to come here because they realize that the chances of them getting a good job when they graduate from President University, are far greater than if they graduated from any other university in Indonesia.

The reason being President University's unique internship program, and the fact that they attend classes that are taught entirely in English, although the quality of English from some of the local lecturers leaves a lot to be desired.

Part of my work at President University is to ensure that President University will become a well known university internationally, and I am proud to be part of its success.
