Unaccredited schools- all degree mills??

[Virtual Bison]

It's a shame that John Bear listed KWU as a legitimate school for years and worse that he actually put it in a book as one of the "100 Good Schools." And worst of all. He now laughs at those who read those opinions and relied on them. KWU was at best legal and adequate for a few years. In the long run it sold out for profit. BUT NOT everyone who used this school were fools or crooks. Some decent people made use of those degrees and were not simply buying degrees. The author of the guides should bear that in mind before he trashes and slashes them and the school.

I could not have said it better myself. KWU, and WNU was not perfect but it did fill the needs of the students who went there. I will not try to defend the people who ran the school since they pretty much sold out the students. But the students and the faculty were the ones who really made it work. I guess it was a victim of its own success.

The sad thing is that if this can happen to Kennedy, it can also happen to all the other for profit online schools. These days even accreditation does not gurantee protection. I read several articles about how a number of schools are in the crosshairs of the accreditation Nazis.

Here we see one of the biggest assholes in the Senate taking aim at for profits...
