Which Public Universities have Signed Contracts with HEH? (from stophehcorporatplundering.blogspot.com)
Lamar University, Randy Best's alma mater, was the first publically funded university to partner with HEH. University of Texas at Arlington offers several HEH programs. Arkansas State University offers at least one HEH program. Sam Houston University is currently negotiating with HEH. The University of Toledo successfully blocked a partnership with HEH.All of the aforementioned HEH programs reflect the offerings of Randy Best's American College of Education (ACE). As a matter of fact, it's interesting to note that ACE's website is almost indistinguishable from the websites for the HEH programs (labeled "Academic Partnerships") embedded within their respective public university partners.American College of Education: http://www.ace.edu/University of Texas at Arlington: http://uta.academicpartnership.com/default.aspArkansas State University: http://www.astate.edu/academicpartnerships/default.aspLamar University: http://www.academicpartnership.com/lamar/Note the predominance of the primary selling point: $4,950 price on the banner of each website. It's sort of like a car dealer posting the sales prices of the cars at the front of the car lot. Cheaper cars are great. What if only half the engine were inside, however? Not so great. These cheaper programs are "lite" degrees. The online classes are 5 weeks in duration (about 1/3 of a typical college class) and taught by academic coaches who are often assigned to work with more than 100 students at a time. Randy Best's sales force at HEH must be very, very good at their jobs to get universities to enter into contracts that, in effect, invite the pirates to live on the ship, share space equally with the crew, while, at the same time, plundering for profits. Randy Best's mission is to have the first national college of education. He is well on his way.How many more universities will sign on the dotted line and embed ACE within their public institutions?
