    What is a "full college experience?"

    Anyone want to rehash the rigor argument? I believe the people who react defensively to suggestions that for-profit, distance learning institutions raise standards are doing serious harm to distance learning and creating a degree ghetto.

    I should have mentioned that the members of the consortium that published this report are mostly traditional universities (exceptions being Fielding and TESC).

    Sounds like another "they said, research proves, studies verify blah blah blah." I wish I had a dime for every incompetent traditional university graduate. It is only one factor, not the holy grail.

    This isn't research. There are no data supplied, no methods discussed. It is self-published (with no author). There are some very unscientific comments, like referring to the "failure" of for-profits. Failure? By what measure? Just a broad, unsupperted statement is given.

    Their conclusions might very well be true, but there is no way to find out.
