A nice one from JB @ DD in response to his enthusiastic support for Pacific Western in his 'guide' in 1986:
"I don't have a 1986 edition to look at. There was a time when I believed PWU was doing an OK job for an unaccredited school, but I always made clear that this was in the context of unaccredited schools, never as good a choice as properly accredited. So at best, these words are taken out of context.
It was a few years after that that the American Journal television program did a 'sting' operation in which one of their undercover reporters was able to purchase a Master's degree in less than ten days, no questions asked. American Journal also attempted to visit the 'campus' in Hawaii, and found it to be an empty room adjoining their lawyer's offices. Any possible positiveness I may have felt for PWU was gone by this time."
