I was fairly active in A&S and Univeristy all 3 years I participated within 
Atlantia.  I only learned of the degree within the last few weeks, months 
after having moving to Caid.

I have no idea if other Kingdom's Universities lead to any sort of 
recognition, but for those that do, an existing framework exists to hang 
this cooks education plan on.   Outside Atlantia, regularly scheduled 
University courses still provide a time and place. Working within the 
existing SCA education systems is  better than trying to create something 
new, particularly something mimicing the fighter authorization process.   
SCA-University and any resulting recognition is optional, informal and 
completely internal, which most of us prefer vs. required training and 
required authorizations.

The question of modern food handlers licenses is something else again. Any 
eventual need for those will be dictated to us from outside, so working for 
or against it is not anything we can do here and now.

(Do any other Kingdom's provide an attaboy for University coursework?  
Evidently that Atlantia's does isn't a particular incentive to anyone--if 
people I knew were actively working toward an Atlantian University Degree 
they didn't say so.  I'm thinking if anyone gets a degree, it's more 
happenstance than planning. )
