Why "Of the People"?

[question]

You quoted me as saying that was the reason, but that was someone else.

yes sorry I was referring to the other user. It's unclear where "Abraham Lincoln" comes into this.

By the way, all registered charities are corporations. The word doesn't necessarily include the sort of baggage that I think you're assigning it.

Technically you're right.

My point is: this online school heavily advertises itself by talking about "the people", "charity initiatives", "helping the Third World" etc. but by now I've come to believe it's just a big marketing ploy.

Founder is probably a Marxist. It is by far the worst name of any University.

I have to say that there are many unconvincing or odd aspects of this organization, and the name is certainly one of the most striking in the first place.

Does it have a different target market than the American one? Who knows, maybe it does, but at the same time, the organization puts a lot of emphasis on being American
(although it's not clear whether it truly is, given that it only has a PO box in the US and no headquarters)
