hahahah...these are not schools. America's private, public, and on-line universities have become student loan delivery devices, where 200 students pay $3000 a pop to take a class taught by an adjunct paid $2500 for 3 months work...and that ONLY AFTER grades (no "f's" please, it affects out students esteem!) are submitted. DIE ESI, die!

It is so disconcerting to see people lump all of these schools into one pot. Some are disreputable yes. Some are not. The same can be said for traditional universities. Some are really good and some are not. I don't remember ever being guaranteed a job when I graduated by one of these schools. Perhaps we should start looking at the mentality of students who come to the universities wanting to get the degree but not do the work.

I have graduate degrees from both sides of this fence. I worked harder in some of the online classes than I ever did in the traditional classroom. And, as a faculty, I'm well aware of the pay policies, as I have also taught in both. I am my colleagues have given Ds and Fs and do hold students accountable. Your comments may apply to some schools but not to all. To lump them together is wrong. Faculty, like the schools fall under the Bell curve like cyclists and another other group. Some are exceptional and some are awful. And a vast majority in between work very hard to be the best they can be.

Good riddance to these taxpayer funded, blood sucking for profit schools
