Abstract
Columbia Pacific
University, more than any other school, pioneered the educational revolution
which today goes under the name distance learning that rely heavily on a canned
curriculum and adjunct professors. This paper explores the closing of Columbia
Pacific University by the State of California. It was found that the reasons
given by the court were invalid. Several plausible reasons were proposed, none
of which could be proven. It was concluded that the closing of CPU was an
arbitrary and capricious political act.
Introduction
My
evaluation of Columbia Pacific University (CPU) in this paper is based on my 35
years as a college professor, and the fact that I have a total of eight other
degrees (plus two additional graduate degrees—both doctorates—for which I have
completed most of the course work), all from fully accredited Universities. My
other degrees are from Wayne State University, the University of Toledo,
Medical College of Ohio, and Bowling Green State University. I have also completed post bachelors course
work at the University of Wisconsin, Miami University in Ohio, and the University
of California, Berkeley.
I
originally pursued a degree from CPU because where I now reside is a
considerable distance away (generally a 2.5 hour round trip) from the closest
graduate schools (the University of
Toledo, Medical College of Ohio, and Bowling Green State University). Consequently, in the late 1980s I inquired
about a suitable non-residential college where I could complete my graduate
work in the science area (I already had a number of graduate credits, all of
which Columbia accepted).
To
make an informed decision on graduate school, I consulted the most
authoritative alternative education reference in print, Bear's Guide,
which Wilson Library Bulletin says is “the authoritative guide in the
field.” The 2003 Tenspeed
catalog says, “after 25 years this classic bestseller is still the resource for
anyone looking to earn a degree in a nontraditional way.” This guide highly recommended Columbia
Pacific with the following words:
Columbia Pacific is the largest university in the United States
and one of the largest in the world offering non-resident Bachelor’s, Master’s
and Doctorates. Despite the size,
students report an extremely high level of personal attention from the faculty
and staff. The faculty numbers more
than 400, nearly all with traditional Doctorates. Two former presidents of major accredited universities serve as
two of the deans of Columbia Pacific, and their president, Richard Crews, is a
prominent psychiatrist with his medical degree from Harvard.... Degrees are offered in dozens of subject
areas, including business, administration and management, engineering,
psychology, education, holistic health, health sciences administration,
architecture, and nutrition. Special
programs are created for students wishing to work in specialized areas... Work
may be done in almost any language....
The University has two campuses: a million-dollar university-owned urban
campus in downtown San Rafael (just north of San Francisco) and a 13-acre North
Campus in northern Marin County, with library, student housing and other
facilities. There is an office in
England, where a special program in travel and tourism is offered jointly with
British Air, and where former Prime Minister Harold Wilson is one of many
prominent people serving as honorary fellows of the university (Bear, 1985, p.
96).
Bear concluded his detailed review of CPU
with the following recommendation:
No other non-resident
doctorate-granting institution has a staff with the credentials, reputation,
and experience of Columbia Pacific.
Many major universities, including Harvard, Yale and Princeton have
expressed a willingness to accept C.P.U. degrees. Hundreds of C.P.U. alumni have written me (more than from any
other school) to praise the very personal approach, the valuable learning
experience, and the usefulness of their degrees (1985, p. 96).
Bear also
rates schools from 1-5 (5 being fully regionally accredited), Columbia was rated a 4, which meant it was
given the authority by “the superintendent of public instruction of the state
of California” to award the degrees they offered. In other words, it was
accredited by the state of California. Among other things, Full Institutional
Approval pursuant to California Education Code Section 94310(b) means:
"The course for which the degree is granted achieves its professed or
claimed academic objective for higher education, with verifiable evidence of
academic achievement comparable to that required of graduates of other
recognized schools accredited by an appropriate accrediting commission
recognized by the United States Department of Education or the Committee of Bar
Examiners for the State of California". The key word in the clause is
'comparable' which is synonymous with the adjectives 'similar', 'matching' and
'equivalent'. Almost 50 accrediting bodies exist and for this reason one must
specify which accrediting body is of concern. The United States Department of
Education recognized CPU as a fully accredited institution, as evidenced by its
inclusion in the Higher Education Directory, The HEP, published by
Higher Education Publications, Washington, DC, 1984. CPU was also listed in Petterson's
American Education, Vol 82.
The 1981 edition of Bear’s Guide
says the founders and staff of CPU “have, by a wide margin, the most impressive
credentials of the people associated with any such school” (1980, p. 49). The school was founded in 1978 by three
senior academics, two of whom were former presidents of regionally accredited
American universities (see www.altepualumni.org). CPU, was the first
California approved institution to gain full Institutional Approval in 1986. It
now has over 7,500 alumni in 60 countries. When operating it was the largest
distance learning institution in America. Bear adds that no other
alternative non-residential
Doctorate-granting institution has officers who approach the reputation,
prestige, and experience of those of C.P.U.
I have had more positive, enthusiastic feedback from students and alumni
of C.P.U. than from any other school, accredited or not. These people praise the very personal
approach, the valuable learning experience, the comparatively low cost, and the
value of the degree to them. C.P.U.
operates from a large leased building just north of San Francisco and from a
13-acre residential retreat center (with library, student housing, etc.) in
Northern Marin County. There is also a
residential psychology program in Santa Cruz, and offices in England.
CPU was rated by the California
State Department of Education as “consistent in quality” with regionally
accredited institutions. All new schools are unaccredited and when CPU was
operating it could not become regionally accredited by the Western Association
of Schools and Colleges (WASC) because WASC at that time did not accredit any
nonresidential “distance learning” (now
called on-line educational programs) institutions. Of course, this has now
changed, in part due to the pioneering work of CPU. In 1995, CPU had began to
develop a short residence requirement to earn full regional accreditation, and
was then preparing to apply for regional accreditation. The Times
Educational Supplement of August
5th, 1983 noted that CPU had a selective admission policy.
CPU graduates
I also consulted with some CPU
graduates, and found quite a number of very successful alumni. One is John Gray, Ph.D. the award-winning
best-selling author of the Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus series
that critics claim was once very controversial (but has now moved more into the
mainstream). I also encountered
numerous CPU graduates who have done well in academia, such as Frank G.
Shellock, Ph.D., FACC, FACSM, assistant professor of radiology at the
University of California, Los Angeles, School of Medicine and a research
scientist at the world renowned Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los
Angeles. I reviewed the publication

When I
completed my degree in February of 1992, CPU was fully licensed and authorized
by the state of California to award degrees.
Their degrees were accepted not only by industry, but also by education,
government, and other areas. My Ph.D. dissertation was published by University
Microfilms International in Ann Arbor (see appendix).
CPU Graduates Employed in Academia
Columbia Pacific graduates are

I was easily able to locate scores
of faculty members from many other colleges and universities who were CPU
graduates. An example is Dr. James
Yarmus (he has his Ph.D. from CPU), who teaches at Howe School of
Technology, a division of Stevens Institute of Technology. His fellow faculty have degrees from
Harvard, Vanderbilt, MIT, Stanford, Columbia, and Cornell. Another example is
Macomb Country Community College (MCCC) President Al Lorenzo has his
Ph.D. from CPU. MCCC, one of the nation’s largest and most innovative community
colleges. He established the four-year university center that allows students
to earn over 40 bachelors degrees from 10 different colleges. When Lorenzo
wanted to complete his Ph.D. in the early 1990s he "called the Michigan
Department of Education for a recommendation, and Columbia Pacific University
was suggested” (editorial in The Macomb Daily dated August 30, 2004). A
few more examples follow:
Marlene
