California Coast's founding date has been changed

California Coast website, 1999:
California Coast University was founded in 1974 to meet the needs of experienced men and women from all areas of industry, business, education and the helping professions.

California Coast website, 2004:
California Coast University was founded in 1973 to meet the needs of experienced men and women from all areas of industry, business, education and the helping professions.

I have asked them what happened, but Tom Neal Jr. hasn't responded to me since he publicly called me a liar for reporting, correctly, what his father said to me in the late 70s.

Its interesting that CCU is aging faster than most schools. At this rate, CCU can be the oldest still existing school in history, at least perhaps in a few hundred years. Unfortunately getting an exact rate for the increased aging is not possible with the given information, also I don't know how old the oldest continuously teaching school actually is. We would probably have to also assume that the currently oldest school had a more conventional rate of aging.

Albert Einstein would be most pleased to learn of this, were he alive. Albert theorized that time would travel slower for one body as it was accelerated. This has been proven with a number of different experiments. For example they took a clock up into a plane and after landing and comparing the clock with its twin clock that stayed on the ground, the clock that had stayed in the same relative place on the ground had moved faster. I'm unsure how CCU managed to age faster though rather than slower. I mean if CCU remained in the same place (relatively speaking of course) and the Earth accelerated away and came back then I would have thought that I would have heard about it on the news. Okay, I don't watch the actual news each night but I think I would have at least heard a joke about it in Jay Leno's monologue.

 

I found that CCU has not submitted to Yahoo...
Since I can't search CCU in Yahoo but Google

 

Interesting, although I don't see how this could explain how CCU is aging faster rather than slower than the rest of the Earth?

 

But I really want to know why.

 

I just did a search for 'california coast university' on Yahoo. CCU's website was the first thing that came up.

 

I mean www.calcoast.edu.

I really can't search it by typing "California Coast University"!!

 

First name basis? Hmmm...

Jack Benny barely moved much less accelerated and his clock didn't change for twenty years.

 

I just tried it again. You might be right. What I had simply assumed was the CCU site was really a listing on one of those ubiquitous college listing (advertising) sites.

CCU might be down in the results somewhere, but it wasn't near the top.

I don't know what significance this has, if any.

 

1973 or 1974 - who gives a rat's behind?

I assume there probably is a technical explanation that relates to incorporation date as opposed to licensing date but we are talking a maximum of 12 months(and maybe only 1 month) in a 31 year history.

 

Quite likelky just sloppy editing by their web designer. According the State of California (http://kepler.ss.ca.gov/list.html) the current date is correct.

"C0678819 4/13/1973 active CALIFORNIA COAST UNIVERSITY THOMAS M. NEAL "

Simple Answer

The answer to this supposed contradiction is simple. If CCU was founded on 12-31-73, yet all paperwork/forms/documentation were signed just after midnight (1-1-74), then both dates are correct.

Why must you guys make such issues out of minute details?

 

Is this really an issue? No, I don't think so. I agree completely with Russell.

 

Until CCU responds, all we can do is speculate at an explanation (or be indifferent to the discrepancy). My favorite explanation, at least until CCU responds, is that it is due to the General Theory of Relativity.

 

Obviously, CCU does. Otherwise, why lie about it?

I agree with both Russell and Ike.

Shirley,

I typed in both www.coast.edu and california coast university into yahoo and both entries returned the CCU web site (first lising).

For academic purposes google is one of the better search engines.

Also I am still a little confused over what qualifications you really need.

If you are looking for a US degree then I would recommend a regionally accredited degree over DETC in most instances.

Regards,
Ian
