    College of Technology London?

    Any more details?

    A college of technology is usually specified as to area, e.g. Poplar College of Technology, Watford cCollege of Technology and similar legitiamte bodies (although some have been subsumed into the new redbrick universities)

    Also there seems to be a problem with the URL and the Newspaper is not too user friendly (archived stories are charged for )

    Interesting list. So Kennedy-Western sells degrees? I would think K-WU would make the second list, not the first.

    No Berne University anywhere?

    Lasalle is closed.

    Bernadean should be on the second list, IMHO.

    Chadwick on the first list?

    And so it goes. It looks like the developers of that list have some scrubbing to do.
