I made some changes to the Columbia Pacific University page. The heading "Alarming Academic Standards" seems to be clearly ill intended by its author, both sensationalistic and non-scholarly, and misleading. CPU passed ALL site approval visits from 1978 thru 1991. The re-approval attempt in question (1995) was failed by the Council on the basis of CPU not meeting changed regulations. Many other approved schools such as "Kensington University", a well-established private institution, also failed these same new regulations. I can supply a scanned copy of the successful 1991 site visit which will easily refute the claim that CPU had alarming academic standards prior to the 1995 visit. The State documents (which I can also supply) claimed that CPU was equivalent in quality to US accredited institutions. The State itself now asserts that all CPU degrees prior to mid summer of 1997 are legal and valid. How can that be inferred as CPU having alarming academic standards?

I also intend to add a piece about attorney Asher Rubin if we do not remover his remarks, which were NEVER contained in the court judgement. I know this because I have those court rulings and ALL testimony in my possession. I researched the CPU situation for 1.5 years and collected all related documents from CPU's administrators. John Bear, PhD, a longtime distance education journalist and publisher of Bear's Guide to Distance Education for decades witnessed Judge Jean Druyee rebuff Rubin in 1998 for his obnoxious court behavior and ill preparedness on the CPU matter. This was reported by Bear in at least two public venues which I will link. Additionally I will supply Rubin's own words from his alma mater's alumni site, in which he describes a good education as involving the theft and harboring of women's underwear, both a perversion and crime. My issue with supplying these kinds of articles is that it lowers the intended (i presume) scholarly flavor of Wikipedia. If the sensationalist misleading bias against CPU does not cease then I will also supply these and other related articles, as they are part of the overall story and I have no qualms about adding them.
