Clayton Crumbles, Bear Boasts

[Virtual Bison]

Bear accepts responsibility for starting yet another failed/unscrupulous enterprise:

I agree with Chip. Wonderful news. In a backhanded way, I bear some responsibility for this operation. During the two years I lived in Tennessee (1986-88], I used to get regular phone calls from Lloyd Clayton, asking for advice on how to start a school. It became clear to me that his interest was far more in the direction of profitability than academics, and our discussions ended. And then there were all those full-page color ads in health and nutrition and new age publications touting Clayton as one of the pioneers of distance and online education. For many years, Clayton's schools had a private deal with Alabama authorities: they would leave him alone as long as he did not accept any students living in Alabama. [Very much like what Kennedy-Western had in California. Wonder if there are other examples?]

As usual, he confesses and immediately denies.

The pot calls the kettle black, eh?
