Hi all,
I just had another, of several, 'expert' tell me his degree in music was from Columbia Pacific. Just in case you hear about CPU from another source I wanted to pass this on.
California State Board of Higher Education News Release
COLUMBIA PACIFIC UNIVERSITY ORDERED TO CLOSE PERMANENTLY
Date: January 13, 2000 Media Contact: Paula David (916) 323-5178
SACRAMENTO—The Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education today announced that a final judgment has been issued by Marin County Superior Court, ordering Columbia Pacific University (CPU) of Novato to permanently cease operations...
Among other items, the judge found that CPU:
awarded excessive credit for prior experiential learning to many students; failed to employ duly qualified faculty; and failed to meet various requirements for issuing Ph.D. degrees."
The rest of the article is at http://www.dca.ca.gov/press_releases/2000113.htm and can be freely accessed by anyone seeking information on CPU.
Additional note: There is a CPU website still offering degrees over the web. The initials fit.
