Answer 1: University of Phoenix (UOP) is regionally-accredited in ALL parts of America...
...and that's coming from someone who very much dislikes UOP -- and all for-profit schools like it -- for a variety of reasons. And so, therefore, my answer here is not in support of UOP as much as it is to simply correct some misinformation posited by the questioner in his/her question. Such questions are, by definition, "loaded" and so are unfair... sort of like asking, "So, have you stopped beating your wife yet?" Try all the possible answers to it and you'll see what I mean.
Every last one of UOP's campuses, no matter where located, as well as its online school, is/are "regionally" accredited. It matters not which US state it's in because educational accreditation in the US is overseen by federal agencies and/or their non-governmental organizational appointees, not states.
So, then, UOP was not allowed to lie about its accreditation on Wiki Answers. It is, in fact, regionally-accredited everywhere.
That still doesn't make it a good school, though; and UOP's got big troubles, as of this writing... including a suggestion by its accreditor that it be put on suspension. But that's another rant for another day.
