As a current graduate student I am glad to see that actions are being taken to reduce shoddy higher education outlets. There are several places local to me that strain the boundaries as far as possible to call themselves "colleges", or the other favorite label, "institutes". Pretty much all such bodies I've seen focus on undergraduate programs, so it's especially important to get the word out to high school juniors and seniors about what is considered quality education and what could be a very detrimental life and career choice. As with most things, you get what you pay for. Thanks for posting this. As a current graduate student I am glad to see that actions are being taken to reduce shoddy higher education outlets.
