the sports news a couple of years ago. they aren't part of it, but there was speculation they might be at some point.

Responses:

correcting myself: stanford is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. they just have oodles of money and do things to keep it growing and growing and growing. - b. Mar 11, 15:31 9
- GCU is publically traded -- (link) - JD Mar 11, 15:36 4
  - So who comes first, the students or the stock holders? Such a shady business. -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 15:39 3
    - Actually, isn't it the legal responsibility as a publically traded company that they have a fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value? -- nm - JD Mar 11, 15:43 1
      - This is why I question them as educational institutions. -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 15:55
    - er, though, I think that at some schools, you could replace the school for stockholders and be left with the same question - JD Mar 11, 15:41
- Right. There were no for-profit schools until them and I'm not really happy they're being allowed in. - Krusty Mar 11, 15:35 3
  - I forgot I knew that about stanford, heh/eep. (it also took me 4 tries to turn-off cap lock to type this.) -- nm - b. Mar 11, 15:39 2
    - Heh. :-) - Krusty Mar 11, 15:57 1
      - ;* thanks! I hope a good one is ahead for you, too! -- nm - b. Mar 11, 16:00
That's the school. I had the conference wrong in my head when I posted. Either way, they're for-profit which - Krusty Mar 11, 15:26
