University of Northern Virginia Hit Big
Did your "harumph" deteriorate into head-shaking at the audacity of the operation? Mine surely did.
It starts out with just one little word in the description, "unaccredited". A college or university which lacks accreditation is a farce. If they aren't recognized by educational peers how can they claim to provide an education worthy of the name? Who would pay for schooling by someone who doesn't have the credibility to be acknowledged?
Illegals from India seeking a justification for being here is the answer to that question.
The UNV web-site is down. So, it's not possible to see what appears at their link labeled "accreditation". It isn't possible to see what their admission criteria are or what the tariff for attendance might be. There's no immediate way to see the faculty roster or their credentials.
But Wikipedia offers a great overview of the place:
Unaccredited Since 2008
A March 2011 article in The Chronicle of Higher Education compared UNVA's enrollment practices and business model to those of Tri-Valley University, a California institution that was forced to close after facing an investigation for visa fraud.[2] The Chronicle article states that UNVA enrolls Indian students who work full-time in "internships," without being required to attend actual classes.That's a great gig, isn't it? The place is run by a grocery store owner of three "international food" stores in DC. Students are brought here from India where they are promised a student visa, they don't attend classes and they work full-time in "internships."
Wanna bet those internships focus on grocery store marketing, check-out, and shelf stocking?

Hey, Auburn is accredited and we Georgia folks know it to be a farce. It's Plan B for high school grads that can't get into UGA or Bammer. (Gig hard!)
I hope that the SWAT Team got to break out the gear and fully auto weapons, along with the APC's.

BTW, I don't know whether you saw it, but I suggested earlier that you check in on w.notssmbbs.com. It is a gun and hunting site primarily, but has plenty of politics and general interest stuff. It is populated by a lot of interesting folks, including former soldiers, marines, fighter pilots, bummer pilots, civilian fun pilots, doctors, lawyers, etc. It's a good forum to visit and you will likely find some kindred spirits there, a number of whom are in TX.
Be careful with those Auburn comments, I've got a piece of paper with Auburn on the top and another that says Troy. Both are grad school.
As for GA, I didn't see any Bulldogs in the NCAA national championship game last January.
I knew I would get a rise out of that Auburn poke.
Georgia did not win the bidding for Cam Newton, who was from Atlanta and was a scholarship candidate before he commenced his criminal career at Florida. UGA won't be in the BCS Championship until it makes a coaching change and someone then has some years to pull it together.
