I am very near finishing my dgree at UoP and I will be the very last to say it is a university without flaws. But I will also point out that it was the foresight of the founders that identified the opportunity that existed in online education and adult learners. Far too many universities even today cater to kids fresh out of high school and ignore older students who have other responsibilities that prevent them from attending regularly scheduled classes.
I happen to be one of those students. Were it not for UoP, I don't know that I would be getting my degree now. For that I am thankful.
I have read the lawsuit that was pressed against the school and it appears some mid-level managers were encouraging sales people into some questionable practices and for this a lawsuit to determine the schools culpability may well be in order. However, let us not through out the baby with the bath water. The school is offering a great education for students who may not be able to get one at a traditional brick and mortar school. And if the founders have made billions in the process, and they have, so be it. I wish I had been able to capitalize on the idea myself.
