Preston University in Los Angeles, CA

Wyoming to Alabama did not last long.

They are in Los Angeles, CA now.

Google search of 3731 Wilshire Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90010 reveals the address as an answering service.

 

I wonder if that's the same address as the California office of Kennedy-Western/Warren National?

 

K-W was up in Ventura county. I believe that K-W actually owned/leased a small office building.

My guess is that Preston's perpetrators aren't anywhere near Los Angeles. (By some accounts they are in Pakistan.) LA's just a convenient mail forwarding address.

Given the current state of California post-secondary licensing (nonexistent) there are only going to be more and more smelly bloated wonders washing up on our beaches. It's sad to see.

 

Isn't it interesting that we're coming full circle. A lot of crappy schools were once located in California before they were chased away when the laws changed. As other states have become more restrictive, and California's budget cuts has made enforcement there almost nonexistent, the slime is slithering back.

 

Bill is correct (of course). Here's what an early March Cheyenne Herald article said,

"During her tenure, there were about ten people in the Cheyenne office, another 50 in a California office. In California were telemarketers, all the IT people, accounting, HR, etc."

It's a great article. The best line from the Chef Academic Officer for WNU that was printed in the article was probably, "I believe I was hired for my credentials and not to actually lead academic change. It was clear to me that a quality program with integrity was never going to happen."
