opinion on accreditation

"...the state, which continues to advocate mass university education not for academic or humanitarian reasons, but because it reduces crime and unemployment."

Reducing crime and unemployment sound like pretty good reasons to advocate education to me.

 

The text Ian linked to comes from something called 'European-American University'.

This page names John Kersey as EAU's President.

Kersey has a colorful history as a... let's say online university entrepeneur and has featured in several previous Degreeinfo threads.

He presented arguments similar to those in Ian's link in this libertarian publication

That and his connection with Shelia Danzig just makes me nervous....
