They branded this wrong.

University of the People stands out front and centre as different and sketchy as the name makes you think of protestors in a park waving the hammer and sickle and handing out diplomas for life experience.



That’s a pretty interesting interpretation of “we the people” filled with political undercurrents.

I think your underlying assumption is that only an “exclusive” university can provide a good education, and not something en masse. I think UoP is explicitly trying to challenge that assumption.

Btw, I have a hunch that if we valued “life experience degrees” more than “law degree at Harvard” the US Congress would be a better legislative body
