Another ball burner for Klempner. California Southern University (nee SCUPS) is now DETC accredited.
Way back in 1997 Klempner began publicizing the dark side of SCUPS, Hecht's very minor league farm team for NCU:
There seems to be a pattern developing here. Everything Klempner derides, directly or indirectly, as a mill winds up accredited. Everything Klempner owns or hails as "a good choice" goes down the dumper. If you're going to gamble on an unaccredited degree, the smart strategy seems to be to fade Klempner.

The February 1995 issue of Spy Magazine reported on a "sting" operation in which a number of schools, including SCUPS, agreed to sell their undercover reporter various degrees. TheSCUPS price, Spy reported, was $10,000. Two years later, SCUPS had neither asked for a retraction nor sued Spy Magazine.
