ABET accreditation for Computer Science undergraduate degrees is utterly pointless and should not be used as criteria for selecting a CS undergraduate program.

For example. https://cs.stanford.edu/degrees/undergrad/Considering.shtml

"Like the CS department, the EE department is no longer ABET accredited. While such accreditation is useful in certain disciplines such as civil engineering, it has no practical significance whatsoever in computer science."

Stanford doesn't really have to worry about accreditations. Their place in the academic world, especially in CS, is well established.
