What a name. Defintely sounds corporate as opposed to academic. University of Sarasota was one of the best names for a DL institution because it actually sounded like a University located some place you have heard of (Sarasota Florida). Oh the genuis of coming up with that name. Arrrgh.... no wait Arrrgh...oh...gasy University.

That is, without a doubt, the stupidest name I have ever heard in my entire life for an institution of higher learning. Nothing else even comes close.

I sincerely hope that our degreeinfo.com and old AED friends that are currently enrolled in the U of Sarasota will be allowed to receive diplomas from Sarasota. Even then, you'd have to say "now Argosy University" as a disclaimer.

What a public relations disaster. What on earth are these people thinking? Who in the hell would pay to enroll in a school called "Argosy"? Haven't these PTB ever heard of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"?

Stepping off my soapbox,
