Why "Of the People"?

[Ares]

As for Israel:

I don't think the point is about being anti-Israeli (for example, I'm not). The troubling aspect is the fact that they hide their actual Israeli headquarters, claiming instead that it's in "California". What remains to be understood is the exact reason why the University of the People uses this deceptive tactic.

PS: on second thought, one possible reason could be that if they said they were based in Israel, they would lose all their Arab customers.

Completely agreed. I wanted to make it clear this is not an American based school started by an American born business man as they try to play it off as. I also wanted to draw the connection to the communist villages in Israel. I have a good Israeli friend born in Haifa who told me the reason he knows communism does not work is he lived in a Kibbutz, some people would do all the work while others did nothing because there was no incentive for them to work.

University of the People's name immediately draws everyone to ask if it is real and likely will indefinitely. This is the same problem with University of Phoenix now too but for different reasons. I had an older guy without asking tell me the school is legitimate, I said I know but you see the problem? Why put yourself through that? I am a hiring manager and read resumes as a part of my job, schools like Ashworth College are never questioned but I've had other managers question if Excelsior and Western Governors University are real. Purdue University Global and Thomas Edison State University fly through with no questions asked, everyone thinks PUG is Purdue University, every time. UMPI would fly through with no problems either. School naming matters.

Based on reading extensive testimonials there is no way I believe UoPeople should hold RA accreditation either.
