Just a few days ago I noted the strange prevalence of small, sometimes online-only universities in New Brunswick. It seems that in the intervening few days big news has come out about one, Lansbridge University.
It seems that the province will now be revoking its license to grant degrees because it failed to meet a number of required standards, and then failed improve the problems.
The university's own website includes a statement outlining the situation and how things will proceed from the time of the notification of their loss of status. Much to my surprise, the university will be offering classes and granting degrees until the end of the fall semester.
Maybe all of this growth wasn't sustainable after all? I wonder if some of the other new, small universities in New Brunswick are facing similar problems?
I wonder what this means for the students who have been granted degrees by this 'university'? I am not sure if this will matte for most of these graduates, but how does one procure transcripts and whatnot if the university no longer exists? How much does it hurt the value of your degree that the university that granted your degree was shut down only a few years after it opened?
