However, my youngest daughter is trying to get a degree from a site at Orlando. I can't find any info if Orlando is one of them.
I did find there are at least 2 sites in Orlando. I do not know which one she is attending (she completed most of her classes online and only moved to Orlando to finish at a site). This may be sort of good news as if one closes there is still the other one that may stay open.
I even looked at the site for the university. It is owned by the Apollo Group. I had forgotten that it is partly owned by the Carlyle Group;
"James Baker III, former United States Secretary of State under George H. W. Bush, Staff member under Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, Carlyle Senior Counselor, served in this capacity from 1993 to 2005.
George H. W. Bush, former U.S. President, Senior Advisor to the Carlyle Asia Advisory Board from April 1998 to October 2003."
"Carlyle has been profiled in two notable documentaries, Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911 and William Karel's The World According to Bush.
In Fahrenheit 911, Moore makes nine allegations concerning the Carlyle Group, including: That the Bin Laden and Bush families were both connected to the Group; that following the attacks on September 11, the bin Laden familys investments in the Carlyle Group became an embarrassment to the Carlyle Group and the family was forced to liquidate their assets with the firm; that the Carlyle group was, in essence, the 11th largest defense contractor in the United States.[37] Moore focused on Carlyle's connections with George H. W. Bush and his Secretary of State James A. Baker III, both of whom had at times served as advisers to the firm."
I had forgotten about Moore's mentioning this company in the film.
