Point 2: NCARB's primary sources of REVENUE are candidate exam fees/records guaranteeing profit from candidate FAILURE.

Point 3: State board of examiners deciding on licensure exams and college accreditation requirements must be qualified. (for example: In 2016, 2 of 10 board members (president and former vice-president) of the CALIFORNIA ARCHITECT's BOARD did not hold a college degree. Additional 6 out of ten held non-architecture degrees. Only 3 out of board of examiners actually held an architecture degree)

Point 2: NCARB's primary sources of REVENUE are candidate exam fees/records guaranteeing profit from candidate FAILURE.

Point 3: NCARB's AGENTS serving as public servants have an inherent CONFLICT OF INTEREST with the public. 
(for example: NCARB's active leaders serve as president and vice president of nearly all state boards. Illinois board of examiners recently voted to ensure only NCARB-NAAB degrees would be accepted for licensure qualifications. In 2016, the president of NCARB served on the VERMONT BOARD OF ARCHTECTS)

Point 4: Public servants should be unbaised and give way to fair competition.
