The bigger problem with higher ed in this country is that it has no real standards. You can get a degree from UCF or from MIT, for all intents and purposes, it is the same degree. I have never understood why the Ivy League schools have not pushed for a distinguishing classification. It surprises me that even the higher and mid tier schools wouldn't want to distinguish themselves from the like so of UCF, Regent "Univ", Oral Roberts "Univ", the Pheonix, the Strayers, etc.
This guy really needs to just move on to a half-way decent program where his innovation and drive might even be welcomed. F doing all the bull he was sanctioned with. That is exactly the kind of nonsense I would have expected to come out of UCF. Go innovate somewhere where it's recognized and leave that UCF dump behind. I have yet to see anything good come out of UCF.
Don't ask me to substantiate what I said or any other such nonsense, they are observations.
The sanctimonious and patronizing reaction by UCF is a perfect example of why the model is ripe for disruption.
It reminds me very much of the MPAA right before bitTorrent's invention.
I hope that this entrepreneur will realize they are wasting his time and money and drop out, and start charting his own course.
so... higher ed. sadly, that's what it has come to these days. and that's the problem with higher ed.
