Good cause and some of the names affiliated with the institution, if true, are heavy hitters: Niall Fergusson, Steven Pinker, Jonathan Haidt. Hope it succeeds.

Although I can't tell, from the course names, whether this is legit or not.

Sounds like the University of Victorville at California where they do not offer degrees but serve the Grandslam breakfasts all day long.

Typical corporate shenanigans - bait and switch. They'll end up with the assistant teacher from Kyle Middle School as their Dean.

It's almost as if free speech has consequences. That wasn't in the brochure.

This is not on the level of E. Holmes.

But the buzzards are circling.
I think some of these people might be well intentioned folks with $ as well.
The experts in making money off of non profits in Washington are moving in to Austin to take their piece of the pie while its hot.
Not a good sign. And at least one of these people has zero background in any sort of education including Higher Education. They smell the money.

The timing of the E. Holmes scam comes at a good time. Hopefully more people will pull out of this thing.
