Warren National University shut down

[Virtual Bison]

I would really prefer not discussing the legitimacy of WNU (or KWU as it was called). It seems that this is a lively topic of discussion all over the web. The other DL board so often quoted here seems to have a field day with this. There seem to be individuals there who built careers destroying WNU's reputation, as well as that of students and graduates.

Personally I could not give a dam about Paul Saltman or the administration of WNU. Maybe they are opportunistic individuals more concerned with making profits than with education. Maybe not.

What concerns me is that there are students and graduates who seem to be left in the lurch here. For instance, WNU says it will close its doors at the end of March and the current students need to finish by then.

Preston University, which is currently based in Alabama, has agreed to take in WNU's graduates and supply transcripts and provide other Alumni services. This leaves another question, what will happen with this school? Preston's website seems to be down for now. I spoke with some grads of WNU who had problems contacting them.

So whats the story here?

Now I am a KWU grad from a while back. I think it was not 100% bad but I really think that politics got mixed up and some individuals wanted to destroy WNU for their own profit. Thats why that who GAO "Investigation" took place and why Oregon made an attempt to force grads to not put their education on their resume.
