What was checked.
What remains uncertain.

Corrections made

• Refreshed Rate My Professors summaries from the directly retrieved pages: Robert Yu displays 3.0/5 from 53 ratings; Richard Ruth displays 4.9/5 from 9 ratings. Earlier retrieved versions showed 2.9/51 and 4.9/8 respectively. The page now uses the refreshed figures. These remain dated snapshots, not a live feed.
• Expanded the source register from the 12 core sources to all 30 linked sources, including institutional records, voluntary reviews, and commentary. Preserved the original numbered citations.
• Added supplemental accounting, counseling, staffing, safety, and rating data to the downloadable evidence notes. The download previously covered only core findings and budgets.
• Updated the placement finding to include the underlying report’s known-outcome denominator. The article’s rounded 97% and the table’s 97.4% are consistent; the issue is context, not evidence that the number is fabricated.
• Removed incident-specific research leads that had not been independently checked. Revised the methodology to distinguish attributed instructor complaints from independently verified findings.
• Preserved real spaces around heading breaks so responsive styling cannot join adjacent words.

Record checks

• Completion and retention: matched campus cohort rates and cohort sizes to the March 2026 report; checked accounting comparisons against the January 2026 major-at-entry reports. Different entering cohorts remain separate. College totals include accounting.
• Costs: matched all four calculator scenarios to 2026–27 Whitewater-campus attendance budgets and checked totals, grants, residency differences, and additional-year arithmetic. Budgets include indirect allowances, not only billed charges.
• Earnings and placement: checked the FERC report and April 2025 business article. The alumni average, high-school median, cohort descriptions, and historical payback model retain their definitions. Confirmed accounting’s 46 reported outcomes among 71 graduates and the college’s 458 among 719.
• Teaching indicators: checked the 2026 NSSE snapshot’s comparison group, significance key, response coverage, item gaps, and favorable senior results. These are voluntary student perceptions, not direct assessments of instructors.
• Accreditation and program review: checked AACSB and NASAD listings and university accreditation statements. The accounting summary recommends continuation without qualification. HLC status is attributed to the university; this audit did not independently obtain the latest HLC decision.
• Safety: checked the 2026 security report’s main-campus On Campus columns on printed pages 12–13 (PDF pages 18–19), keeping residence-hall subsets separate. Preserved the motorized-bike/scooter footnote.
• Counseling and staffing: checked Table 4 of the 2024–25 counseling report and printed pages 67–68 of the 2024–25 system budget. The highest listed student-to-counselor ratio is shown beside the Clinical Load Index. Eliminated FTE positions are not labeled as confirmed layoffs.
• Leadership: checked the directory, appointment announcement, historical draft financial assessment, and university-reported financial/enrollment updates. Leadership questions are editorial requests for evidence, not findings of personal misconduct.
• Professor reviews: checked displayed profile summaries and the selected review dates, courses, scores, and paraphrases. Anonymous reviewers’ classroom accounts were not independently verified. No evidence reviewed supports saying a professor wants students to fail.

Limits of this audit

Official records can contain errors and can change. Historical reports do not establish current conditions. The financial-recovery statements are university announcements, not this site’s independent financial audit. No classroom observations, student interviews, private personnel records, full accounting evaluation, or course-level failure-rate comparison were obtained.

The featured True College Verdict article is external commentary. Its broader allegations have not been independently verified here and are not adopted as established findings. Rate My Professors samples are self-selected, may include duplicate or inaccurate posts, and are not a faculty ranking.

Functional tests and source/anchor checks passed. Browser-based visual testing was unavailable. This audit supports the page’s attributed and qualified wording; it does not certify every underlying allegation or establish that the university or accounting program is failing.
