Yes the illustrious "dr" pitcock got his doctorate from Jones International...

Here is a bit of an article about JIU when the shutdown was announced...

JUI may have originally been the online education pioneer and had a good reputation but that changed rather suddenly. The school had formerly had its credits accepted by other institutions but eventually their accreditation was limited to the most basic variety necessary to run a for-profit school. Many students found their credits would no longer transfer and that employers were no longer willing to take on JUI graduates.

Very nice

Students were forced to fork over huge tuition and associated fees for programs they had not agreed to be in. If they complained too loudly, they too were dropped from the program, locked out, and found themselves left with only the bill.

So JIU, 'dr' pitcock's school, might have started off good but it didn't last long.

I think the whole article is worth reading.
