PA Sues Online 'University' For Spamming

Posted by timothy on from the can-they-get-to-university-of-phoenix-soon? dept.

CousinLarry writes "Online 'university' Trinity Southern University (Google cache of disabled site homepage) has been sued by the state of Pennsylvania." Besides spamming, this self-described school has, as another reader points out, "awarded an MBA to a cat owned by an undercover Pennsylvania deputy attorney general." I bet my cat could get a PhD.

    Free market education determines that access is based as much on wealth as it is on academic ability.

    Speak for yourself. My Dad went to school with absolutely no help from his parents (who were divorced and very poor). I went to school to a private university on full scholarship. I would trade my private education for the world. There is more then enough floating out there to get you through school. The difference is that you might have to work a little for it instead of waiting for a hand out.
