Yaaay! It's about time!! I was a 4.0 student there and MOST students can't read or write!! I got an assignment from a teacher to give the pros and cons on a subject. There were NO cons, and the instructor was ALLOWED BY THE BOARD PRESIDENT - to whom I personally wrote - to lower my grade, when he never checked the assignment to make sure there were BOTH sides to the argument!! I BEGGED them to look into it. They just backed the teacher because, as a PRIVATE UNIVERSITY, they do what they want! I had FULL funding and was a 4.0 - they lost me as a student and they lost my funding, due to their incompetence and backing that instructor's incompetence. Authorities are even looking into their billing practices!
