It’s common for new colleges to offer free tuition.

In order to be accredited, you need to show you can produce a decent class of students. But how do you get the students if you’re not accredited?

Free tuition.

The accreditation can be retroactive, so they might be getting an accredited degree for free.

I don’t know if this was the case at UC Irvine Law School.
