Westbrook University unlikely to get approval to operate in West Virginia

Below are some juicy titbits:

"It was a costly mistake to not consult a lawyer,'' said Greg Baldt, Westbrook's president. "We're not a diploma mill. We just didn't understand the rules. But that is something that can be corrected.''

It is licensed by the New Mexico Commission on Higher Education. However, reviewers learned that license is set to expire in August and is unlikely to be renewed because of a new state law requiring all colleges in New Mexico to be accredited.

The school was still operating in Weirton on Thursday, although students mail their work to a post office box in New Mexico.

"To listen to this body, nothing we do is worth a crap,'' Gregg said. "I've made a substantial investment in West Virginia. I'm here to stay. The university will do whatever it takes.''

Cheers,
