Eliminated near libelous, unproven statements on Columbia Pacific, as the discussion has been solved by the subject below.
Hi, I’m MSB, the artist. I checked back at the entry by me from the art historian who wrote it, because she said it had changed. Yes, I went to CPU --- and at the start it was definitively NOT a diploma mill, so you shouldn’t really state that so categorically. It was even heralded as the best distance university, a model etc., and I wanted to learn how distance education was going, which is why I studied there, not to get a degree. But yes, by the end, although I got a great education, Carr and the last leaders seem to have run it into the ground, although there also seems to have been screwy politics at work too. CPU is being re-established as an accredited, quality, distance university by some ex-grads, although too late for me, as I went back to very staid, traditional education (Univ Zurich)). So leave the reference although I don’t always use it, due to the last problems. I do think that the Wiki entry on the CPU University itself is okay, but tends to imply that CPU was always a diploma mill (as per your comment) which it was not, and even at the end, depending on advisors, was capable of being good. CPU is really more of a tragedy than a scam. 7 August 2007 MSB_art
I wrote this page and wish to do other living artists, American and Western European, as I find time. I noticed that a call for references appeared on this page. I have this info from Brandl's website, but it is also repeated in many print publications about the artist, in several archives and websites. How and what do you want for a reference? This is also so that I do it right the first time on other artists! Art Scholar —Preceding unsigned comment added by Art Scholar (talk • contribs) 16:21, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
