The university
Governance and legal identity
Who owns eLadder University, where it is registered, and who it answers to.
Ownership
A non-profit corporation, not a private company.
eLadder University is owned by eLadder4U, a non-profit corporation registered in the State of Wyoming, United States. The university operates in Florida under a registered “doing business as” name.
Non-profit status means the university has no shareholders taking a return out of tuition. What students pay funds teaching, academic staff and the running of the institution.
Oversight
Who the university answers to.
Academic governance
Academic standards — what is taught, how it is assessed, and whether a programme meets its stated outcomes — are the responsibility of academic staff rather than of the executive. Academic planning and quality assurance is a named role on the leadership page.
State of Florida
An institution operating in Florida sits under the state's education authority. The exact authorisation eLadder holds, and its reference, are stated on the accreditation page rather than summarised here.

Ownership is not accreditation.
This page answers who owns and controls the university. Whether a recognised accreditor has assessed its academic quality is a separate question with a separate answer, and it is the one that decides whether your degree is recognised where you live.
