rund 170 Hochschulen in Deutschland, Österreich, der Schweiz, Ungarn, dem Mittleren und Nahen Osten, Kasachstan, China und den USA
ACQUIN’s own current website says it has a little over 150 member institutions, not around 170, and it lists a different current set of member countries.
Full reasoning
The article's membership description is out of date.
ACQUIN's official German membership page currently states: "Zu seinen Mitgliedern zählen neben den mittlerweile rund 150 Hochschulen im In- und Ausland". Its English homepage likewise says ACQUIN has "more than 150 member institutions" and specifies that its members include higher-education institutions in Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Lebanon, Egypt, Mongolia and Indonesia.
That directly contradicts the claim that ACQUIN currently has around 170 member universities and that they are in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, the Middle/Near East, Kazakhstan, China and the USA. The official current country list is different, and the current membership total is lower.

With more than 150 member institutions... Its members include Higher Education Institutions in Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Lebanon, Egypt, Mongolia and Indonesia.
European Consortium for Accreditation in Higher Education, full member
ACQUIN does not appear to be a current ECA member. ECA’s own current members directory lists 14 members and does not include ACQUIN.
Full reasoning
This membership claim is contradicted by current official sources.
The European Consortium for Accreditation (ECA) currently says it has 14 members from 9 countries and publishes a full Members Directory. That directory lists the current member agencies individually, including AHPGS, AQAS and ZEvA from Germany, but does not list ACQUIN.
ACQUIN's own current Networks page also lists its international network memberships as AROQA, CEENQA, ENQA, EUA and INQAAHE. It does not list ECA among its current memberships.
Taken together, the current official membership lists from both organizations contradict the statement that ACQUIN is a full member of ECA.
