Re: University?

[Cynical Pen]

Yeah, I've never heard of a liberal arts university. Stanford is a university, but it's also not a liberal arts college. Harvard is liberal arts, and hence referred to as Harvard college. So maybe they are giving up on their ridiculous accreditation attempt, or maybe they're too stupid to realize this, or maybe they're trying to "cleverly" become an accredited "university," to bolster the image of their strength/security, which, they've done many simlarly awkward tactics in an effort to reinforce the illusion that they are something legitimate and long-enduring.

 

But for the record UVSC waited in line for a long time, and busted ass to become a University. But GWC, who can't even manage to become a college, who do they think they're fooling by touting their self-granted university status? Since when did one small building, half a house, and a bunch of empty land in the middle of nowhere constitute a University?

 

As usual, they find yet another way to gio beyond laughable.

Maybe I didn't notice this before, but the gwc website now says that
gwc is a University. Maybe they are so delusional that when UVSC
became a university, they thought that it meant that they should
become one as well. Does this have any bearing on the accreditation?
Can you really change the name and status of your institution while
you are under the accreditation process?

I've been on the website a lot lately working on the wikipedia
article, and I noticed that too. If you asked me to pinpoint the time
of the change, I would say some time between Sunday night (8/10) and
Monday morning (8/11). I searched on the website for some kind of
announcement of the change; nothing. You would think they would say
something about it. But instead it looks like someone did a find and
replace on most of the site's web pages, as if it had never been
George Wythe College. Strange.

Strange, and stupid. I sometimes wonder if Dan Ralphs, Shannon Brooks, and Oliver DeMille sneak out to a bar on Friday nights and laugh about the scheme they're getting away with. I mean, how convoluted does your perspective have to be to not see the whole thing as one giant joke. Maybe Ashton Kutcher will pop out during their "classes" one day and shout "Punk'd!" at all the unsuspecting students.
