Cato Institute Supports Academic Freedom

Well, that would depend on what is meant by "legitimate". If you mean that it's not a place where one can obtain a degree in under three hours, then sure, it passes.

Both TUI and UoP operate by having the student write a short paper after they watch their course video clips. I actually think TUI is just a UoP copycat.

There really aren't any books or tests at UoP, either.

People log in to the website once a week, watch their little video clip, and write a monthly journal entry or essay of what they learned. It's a school for working adults. It's a school for the average man who is above the need for frivolous things like "reading books," and "taking tests".

See, at a school for working adults students can attend school for 30 minutes a week, and graduate in six to nine months, record time.
