Capella University - University of California, Irvine
Kickback Scandal: Who's Involved?

So much has happened during that past week that we're having a difficult time just trying to keep up with all of the scandal's Capella University is involved in! Highlights include:

• Capella University has been found in violation, on multiple counts, of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and their chief shyster, Greg Thom was, not surprisingly mentioned numerous times for his role in Capella's intentional violation of Federal law!
• The kickback scandal involving Capella and the University of California, Irvine (UCI) is now blowing wide open thanks to an article that appeared in last week's addition of the Chronicle of Higher Education. That article noted that Capella has been paying UCI $500 per student that transfers into Capella - of course, Capella also pay UCI big bucks for other things too - such as $40,000 to "develop" just six courses!
• This will be that last week that Capella will be accepting "LEARNERS" (Capella-speak for "student") into their now almost defunct Psy.D. program (after trying for YEARS to obtain accreditation unsuccessful from the American Psychological Association they have probably finally given up trying - thank God for that)!
• It appears as if high ranking officials from Capella, including the President, Michael Oaf Offerman (who is also deeply involved in the Capella University - UCI kickback scam, are continuing to exercise their insider options (and making MILLIONS while they're at it) by cashing in on their soaring stock (which exceeded $60 per share over the past few days - more than TRIPLE the amount of their initial offering less than a year ago). Frankly, both Capella's and their shyster's continual claims that our sites have "damaged" their business is simply absurd!

Oh, there's just so much more. So, in honor of all of the scandals Capella is currently involved in, we thought we would mention the names of the Capella University and University of California officials who have been involved in the kickback scam. Not surprisingly, most of these not-so-wonderful "officials" have been involved in other scandals - including some in the very recent past!

So, just who are these clowns? Pictured from left to right are:

• UCI's Chancellor, Michael Drake (we'll be posting many of the scandals he's been involved in soon).
• UC President, Robert Dynes - Taxpayers and politicians alike have been demanding Dynes' resignation ever since his exorbitant lifestyle (paid for by taxpayers) was exposed by the media last year.
• UCI's Dean of Continuing Education - Gary Matkin. Besides the fact that he's personally involved in the kickback scam with his "buddy" Oaf Offerman, this clown would rather defend Capella than protect the students that his school uses to generate kickbacks.
• Last but not least, Michael J. Oaf Offerman, Capella's dishonest lying president who is making a killing by exercising his stock options as a Capella INSIDER! What's wrong Mikey? Why hasn't Capella University coughed up the "study" of WebCT that you claimed was "universally praised?" Oh yeah, that's right - Michael J. Oaf Offerman is a LIAR.

We're sure that many visitors will be coming back for more over the coming weeks. Heck, in addition to the visit orgy that Capella University and their sleazy shysters from Drinker Biddle & Reath have engaged in (they visit our sites so often that we're surprised they don't crash the servers), UCI and even the Office of the President (i.e., Big Buck Robert Dynes' office) are now visiting on a regular basis too. Gosh, what an honor!
