Here's another less-than-stellar California-based institution of higher education. Note: "California South University" is not to be confused with "California Southern University", which has institutional accreditation by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC/regional) and the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC/national). As you can see on the 29.6.16 screenshots below, CSU makes two claims: 1) … Continue reading California South University: Fraud Alert!

“Making The Grades”
How one California university faked students’ scores, skated by immigration authorities — and made a fortune in the process. I derive absolutely no pleasure at all from saying "I told you so." (OK, maybe just a little.) This is an issue I have been talking and writing about for years. I think the only reason … Continue reading “Making The Grades”

Peace Corps Coming to Vietnam for First Time
I'm very happy to see this development. It's yet another indication that Viet Nam is coming of age as a full-fledged member of the global community of nations because it reflects the government's confidence in itself and its country. In the past, the Peace Corps was viewed with official suspicion. (This is not without cause, … Continue reading Peace Corps Coming to Vietnam for First Time
