In a letter to all current "students", WNU says:

Important Announcement from Warren National University January 2009
An open letter to the students of Warren National University

Warren National University receives its licensure through the Wyoming State Department of Education, under W.S. 21-2-401 through 21-2-407. Such oversight requires the University to meet the standards as indicated within Article 4: Private School Licensing. This is a time of economic challenge for organizations both large and small. Every industry faces change brought in by new and unprecedented economic factors. Organizations that provide services to consumers are experiencing the impact of this economic downturn more and more each day. Warren National University is proud of our long history as a Wyoming private postsecondary institution providing adult learners nationwide with affordable online degree programs.

Warren National initiated an application for accreditation through the Higher Learning Commission of the NCA in June 2005. In December, 2007 the University was granted eligibility status from the HLC which lead to the scheduling of an onsite visit. The HLC site visit was held in October, 2008. On December 15, 2008 WNU was informed that it did not receive the team's recommendation for candidacy.

Warren National's plans to achieve accreditation were adversely impacted by the limitations of a tightening credit market and made more difficult by the increased costs of daily operation. Wyoming law requires that all private post-secondary degree granting institutions either obtain accreditation or remain "a candidate for accreditation" or "otherwise in the process for accreditation" to retain its degree granting authority. Effective January 22, 2009, Warren National University is no longer an applicant for accreditation. Warren National University is therefore required by Wyoming law to cease operation.

The University formally solicited the Wyoming Department of Education for the opportunity to support our students through an extended teach-out period. On January 15, 2009, WNU received a letter from the Wyoming Department of Education informing the University that "Wyoming law does not provide the Department with the necessary authority to grant the request for a 'teach-out' period". On January 27, 2009 the University received notice from the Wyoming Department of Education notifying that our registration was being revoked. Warren National University is initiating an appeal of this decision. The degree granting authority for WNU is preserved while the appeal is being heard by the Wyoming Department of Education. Without the degree granting authority of the State of Wyoming, WNU cannot provide educational services to our students.

We are saddened to announce that the last day of instruction for Warren National University will be March 31, 2009.

No academic work will be accepted after the last day of instruction on 3/31/2009. However those students who complete their academic program requirements by the last day of instruction will be supported through the graduation process and be eligible to receive a diploma.

Man, there goes my credential down the drain. I hope my dean is not reading this!

I know!  I was going to pick up a PhD at the Drive Through window this weekend myself.

Let's get a half-rack of Bud instead and start our own university! What should we call it? The Jacka-Adjunct Institute of Prestigious Higher Learning and Beauty School?

To make it worse, Warren National sold all their students to Preston "University", who was ejected from Alabama in February 2009 (unlicensed since 12/1/2008) for the usual stuff, selling degrees for a fee, no faculty, no records, etc.

Should we tolerate complacency?

Egypt, Tunesia, Libya and even Madison Wisconsin are all places rocked by a demand for something that too many take for granted. That would be Freedom.

In Madison Wisconsin, working men and woman, along with their supporters are taking to the streets, entering the capitol and demanded fair treatment under the law. They know what is at stake: the errosion of the rights of working people everywhere.

We must salute all who fight for freedom everywhere.

We can clearly see that the price of conformity is slavery. And why should the cause of academic freedom be any different. Lets consider the destruction of Warren National University by those who wish to impose their own will and force  conventionality. The fact that non-traditional institutions are actually being outlaw should be cause for concern. It stands to reason that Texas, a state notorious for its disregard for human rights and individual liberties is leading this charge.

I believe that there should be a call to action to stop this tide in its tracks. All free people must be alerted or else this road to tyrany will continue.

At this time the words of Friedrich Niemöller come to mind...

Zombie trolls citing Niemoller are rare.

Philosophy? Department of Religious studies?

Or bankrolled by Palin-for-that-office-in-that-other-place-called-Washington?

(Of course, she might quit to write her next book if elected, you can't be too sure about her...)

Queen Sarah quit as Governor of Alaska because a job at Faux News pays a hell of a lot better. She is enjoying her 15 minutes of fame.

Were they spelled and punctuated correctly?

Perhaps a "traditional institution" could have helped there.
