By the way the DL options were just fine in the early 70's. Again this is Bear crap about not being any accredited choices. He wanted to be involved with the unaccredited schools back then so he pretended there were no accredited choices. Especially he likes to tell that now.
Thomas Edison State College Year Established 1972
Charter Oak State College 1973
Union Institute 1964
Excelsior / University of the State of New York 1972
and many more:
In fact Douglas got his degrees from Excelsior from 1979-81. While Bear was still hawking CPU, and, being part owner of CPU. The accredited choices were there right during the time Bear was doing CPU / IIAS / Greenwich.
In fact Bear still owned CPU stock in 1983, after, Douglas had graduated with three degrees from Excelsior in 1981.

The choices were there all during the Bear involvement with unaccredited schools, but, he wasn't interested in accredited schools at that time. His opportunities were at the unaccredited schools back then, THAT, was the difference, not the lack of choices. His opportunities (money variety) are now with the accredited schools.
While Bear was recommending unaccredited schools, especially the ones he owned, there were accredited schools available. In fact he was still recommending them up till about 1997. Strangely enough when he got involved with Heriot-Watt and was marketing it he began to see greater value in schools of that type. Like the used car salesman, he pushed what he represented. It was not about availability. It was not about what is best. It was not about what you need. It was about what he was selling.
Had Bear wished to do so he could have been pushing Excelsior, Charter Oak, TESC, Union.....etc., all during the 70's and 80's. All during those times when he was making other recommendations.
