TESC, COSC, Excelsior--the "Easy 3" of the RA world--do what Prade does. Is the problem what they do or just who is doing it? In Yorp "right wing" means anyone who would prefer that their country not be turned into a third world socialist sewer. If Prade was genuflecting at the altar of "diversity" and PC would he be having these problems? I kinda doubt it.

Prade is guilty of "escroquerie," but RdS is as pure as the driven snow? How does that work? Obviously something is missing from the story. The author was too busy dumping dirt on Prade to bother getting the facts.
If you don't want an RdS "degree," don't buy one. If your business doesn't accept RdS "degrees," that's your business. Why is this a problem? RA LSU's Mo Claiborne scored a 4 (out of 50) on the Wonderlic Test. How does a "student athlete"
manage that? Prade would seem to be the least of higher ed's problems. The fact that he draws so much attention from The Man suggests the issue is something other than his little PLA/VAE operation.
