Can't hurt I guess. I remember reading that CSU was an incredibly poorly managed institution, so there may be some issues about throwing taxpayer money down a rathole.

I wonder if this on the radar of IBHE? Given the way it has gone so far it would not surprise if the brain trust that cooked this up are big on the "end run" strategy of bypassing existing regulatory methods to benefit their own aims...

My thoughts are maybe they should work on getting the current crop of students to actually graduate before trying to expand their reach. This place makes University of Phoenix look like Princeton.

I have heard nothing but bad things about that school. I hear its a tax hog and the education you receive is horrible at best. I believe the tax hog part of it, but maybe or maybe not the education part.
