Why?

Shaq just wants the knowledge. He doesn't need to pay for "elite" accreditation.

There is a bit of a midpoint between elite accreditation and University of Phoenix

You can't compare accreditation and education.

I'm just repeating the phrasing in your post

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You are repeating without comprehending.

Shaq was paying for personal tutoring. Elite universities sell accreditation, not education.

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

All universities sell accreditation

And the variance in that term was illustrated incredibly well by your first comment.

Correct. And accreditation is not important for shaq. He doesn't need to prove he knows what was taught. He doesn't need to be compared to his classmates.

Why go to an online university if you don't want an online education? There are plenty of places that have in-person classes, without being elite or elite priced.

Why go to an online university if you don't want an online education?

It's only an online university with less than 15 students.

There are plenty of places that have in-person classes, without being elite or elite priced.

One of which was shaq's choice.

He was probably also paying for privacy.

Community college or a state school could have done the job.
