This may be have come up on another thread but I haven't had time to read them in the past day or so...did anyone see this article in the 1/25/05 Sun Herald?

Because I'm no longer in Mississippi but am in higher ed, I'm on a number of listserves and one that I received yesterday referenced this article as a topic in higher ed. I just thought it was interesting that the legislature was looking to run unaccredited institutions out of the state but apparently unalarmed at the prospect of that happening to one of its major state universities.

As a not-for-profit purveyor of high-demand, suitable-for-framing diplomas, the Best Online Gratuitous University in the South regards this egregious legislation as an undue infringement on our inalienable right to display pop-up advertisements!

However, this law should provide extra incentive for USM personnel to resolve their own accreditation problems with distance learning. To hear the president & governor talk, USM is a for-profit.

Note that it is crazy Maxine Asher again--the one who was written up in the Chronicle previously. I sure hope Shelby doesn't see this article. He'll probably hire her.
