DL Truth: Distance Learning Truth

Meritus U is totally legit. It is approved by the only possible accreditor available, the NB government. They take such things seriously.

Another usual error is stating that Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada is an accreditor in any form. Meritus does not qualify for membership in this group because it is for-profit.

The program is unknown and as such may not be well received but it won't be inadequate. Why are people so willing to comment on things they know absolutely nothing about?

You have to be amazed at how quick these clowns jump the gun on a school like Meritus University. None of these characters even bothered looking into the school before posting an opinion.

Also, is it just me or does Kizmet not have a clue about anything related to DL?

Chip doesn't know anything that's happened in the last 10 years. Kizmet doesn't know anything that's happened in her lifetime.

They probably read about the likes of cyberstalker George Gollin (George D. Gollin, George Dana Gollin) being described as an "expert" in the press, when he couldn't find his ass with both hands (or criminal conduct at his own office or even in his own household).  They figure they read Bear's book once too, so they know just as much, are just as oblivious as Gollin, and so they must be experts too.
