Can TAF do anything to have USPAP go back to saying that an appraisal inspection is an example of appraisal service and anyone performing this service would be providing significant appraisal assistance. And therefore, must be personally and actively supervised by a licensed appraiser? Sort of like how it said for the 20 years before the snake oil folks started cutting checks.
Can you possibly refrain from making the appeal to motive? Perhaps learn how to make the appeal to reason instead?

That org has a lot of changes to make if they wish to be respected again. The new chair has her work cut out for her. I wouldn't want the job. Although being paid triple what the job should pay is appealing.

Do you have a list of other providers that applied for the grant?Of course, you would have to be a fool to believe that all this money TAF collects does not come with strings attached. It is a classic example of pay-to-play. That "grant" i.e, kickback hurt other education providers who were not afforded the same 500K and subsequently can not offer the PAREA program.
