WGU Layoffs

[rachel83az]

I would definitely stray away from saying that WGU is a diploma mill. That means some very specific things and I don't think any of that criteria is met by WGU. Do they have some distasteful policies? Absolutely. But that doesn't make them a diploma mill.

Can you give some examples of "distasteful policies"?

1. Examity (this is the biggest one)
   
2. Weekly check-ins. Or not. Inconsistent application of this policy probably fails many students.
   
3. No international students, regardless of citizenship. (Except some Canadians because reasons.)
   

All schools have distasteful policies to one degree or another, depending on your point of view. I'd rather be told how to dress than risk having my identity stolen because of a dubious proctor but someone else might feel otherwise.
