The thing that jumps off the page at me is the juxtaposition of the DHS University and the Naval Postgraduate School. The Naval Postgraduate School is not only totally legitimate (RA masters and doctorates, plus some ABET, AACSB and NASPAA programs), it is a prestigious name in military and government circles. I'm sure that some left-wing academic weenie like George Gollin(sky) doesn't think too much of it, but most non-academics probably realize that he is a complete dick anyway. Most normal people, and mainstream DL mavens like Bear/Douglas/Foerster/Bruce Tait, would undoubtedly be suitably impressed by someone with a postgrad degree from NPS. I'm sure that the alternative lifestyle crowd, especially Contreras, Chip and DesElms would be critical of NPS' less-than-accepting attitude toward gay service members, something which commissioned officers are required to do based on current UCMJ regulations.
My question is how Dr. Douglas, a retired Air Force officer, managed to convince the senior U.S. Navy brass that the nascent DHS University rates being affiliated with the 100 year-old Naval Postgraduate School in any capacity? The fact that he was able to do so, so the DHS bureaucrats must rationalize, has paid for his salary many, many times over.
