HSUS’ Bogus University Goes Under

This from www.HumaneWatch.org…

Several years ago the Humane Society of the United States launched “Humane Society University”—but don’t let the name fool you, it wasn’t a legitimate institute of higher education. HSU was not accredited as a degree-granting institution. And it now seems to be a nearly non-existent entity.

HSU’s website announces that classes are suspended indefinitely. HSU “is currently not accepting applications for enrollment into the College of Arts and Sciences”—we presume this is a liberal use of the word “college”—and “Online professional development programs are under review and no courses are being offered during the Winter term.” HSU president Michael Blackwell has abruptly become a senior director at HSUS, where he can be a white-coated flak. The website is lacking much of the content it had previously.

Translation: School’s out. Perhaps for good. Read more
