    A big degree mill effort in the late 1980's. Bear discusses it in Bear's Guides. From www.degree.net:

    "Finally, be very suspicious of schools with no telephones, or, perhaps even more of a red flag, schools where you can't call them, they have to call you. For instance, in 1989, we attempted to check out a new and heavily advertised school called North American University. The people who answered their toll-free phone line were cheerful, but after many calls, we were never put through to anyone. It was always, "Dr. Peters will call you back." "Dr. Peters" turned out to be an alias for the school's owner, a convicted felon, who would return calls from his home in another state."

    There have been several other diploma mills that have used this name, too.

    While your meaning is clear in this context, please don't confuse this school with another NAU (such as Northern Arizona University, located in scenic Flagstaff).
