When the Board of Directors (?) meets to consider George Gollin (George D. Gollin, George D. Gollin) for the Hall of Shame, can they also consider Northcentral for membership?
I don't know what the rules are (assuming there are any rules here) about membership, but the NCU PhD program seems to be doing more harm than good to the notion of distance learning.
First of all, because the PhD program is ineptly administered, it is bringing down the few other distance PhD programs out there. The cartel can point to these idiots as an example of why DL doctorates are a bad idea. DL doctorates are in fact a good idea and have been around for decades, but just not the way NCU does it. Nobody there seems to have any clue what they are doing, and the only people suffering are the students. The fact that lots of unis screw over their doctoral students doesn't mitigate NCU's conduct.
Also, not only does the NCU program suck, but it looks like their response to complaints on public forums is to employ shills to blame the students rather than fixing the problem.
Did anyone else notice how the link to this thread got dropped at Wikipedia? That's the second time NCU has conspired with the perv Wiki admins to eradicate links to their bad publicity.
If the NCACS isn't going to do its job, and instead continues to accredit this disaster for another three years, then let's do ours. Let's give NCU its due.
