Capella University Refuses to Turn over Records
As has been their pattern, Capella University and their "sleaze team" from Drinker Biddle & Reath, Sir Chrisy the Sissy (H. Christian L'Orange) and Capella Stella Fey Epling have refused, for THREE YEARS, to turn over records as required under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). In addition, they have also refused to turn over documents as required under a Demand for Production filed as part of one of the lawsuits pending against Capella University. As a result, we will be releasing a new FACT about Capella University and their unethical conduct everyday until they decide to comply with the law. Here's our first fact:
Fact One (July 10, 2007) - Capella Instructor Speaks Out About WebCT!
One of the plaintiff's instructors had this to say about WebCT as it was incompetently implemented by Capella University. (FYI, WebCT and Capella University's intentional harassment of students who spoke out about WebCT, is the subject of one of the lawsuits currently pending against Capella University).
"I was asked to participate in a meeting on Monday with the WebCT reps who came to Capella (MN) from Vancouver, CA to resolve problems. I represented the viewpoints of the faculty and learners. I was honest about my experiences, and what learners have represented.
". . .I told the group that the old courseroom [sic] platform was like going to a supermarket as most of the meat was in one place. the new courseroom [sic] is like shopping in Kenya was: it took all day because we (the driver and I) had to go to at least six stores (butcher, greengrocer, butter/egg, dry goods, fruit stand, etc.) and a few open air markets to get one day's worth of shopping done. The latter is a lot like using VISTA---lots of clicking, lots of places to check, very time consuming--same results as a supermarket. Oh well.
". . .this too shall pass, and there are a LOT of embarassed [sic] techies at Capella and a VERY frustrated president [i.e., liar Michael Offerman]. your friend, [name of this instructor has been redacted - for the moment]"
The above quote was taken verbatim, from a document already provided to Federal Court. Visitors to this site will also be interested in learning that the instructor who made the above statement was a member of Capella's "core faculty!" Of course, Sir Chrisy and Capella Stella KNOW that this statement was made by one of Capella's "finest" - is that why they've REFUSED to turn over this and countless other documents that prove the gross lack of ethics at Capella?!
