Dr Michelangelo Schwartz

The University of Last Resort: The Story of a College That Has No Class Dr Michelangelo Schwartz

        Upton Sinclair showed us how the sausage was made (literally) in his
        expose of the meat packing industry.  John Steinbeck let us savor the
        vinegar of corporate farming.  Does not for profit online higher
        education deserve such a muse?  Is it not time to see how the sausage
        is made (metaphorically) in higher education?
       
        You have all seen the ads of a cute co-ed in silky pajamas enticing you to
         take out your credit card and get that college degree you always
        wanted, all without leaving the comfort of your home.   You have read
        about how students end up a hundred thousand dollars in debt and come
        out of the whole experience knowing less than when they came in.  You
        have heard stories of phony universities, corrupt deans, and
        questionable degrees.  For the first time there is a voice worthy of
        these noble subjects.  "The Iliad" needed its Homer and higher education
        now has Michelangelo Schwartz, PhD.

        Spend time with a cast of characters who will live alongside Scarlet
        O'Hara and Captain Ahab. Meet Dr. Michelangelo Schwartz, a drunken
        and philandering Dante scholar who descends into the same circles of
        hell he bored his students with.  Meet Sister Bill, the dean of
        discipline at a Catholic women's college who carries a metal ruler and
        is not afraid to use it.  Meet Jim Bob Rules, president of Lee Harvey
        Oswald Community College in Sheets, Texas, who only has the job
        because his father is chairman of the board.  Meet Senator
        Brandon Bloom who wants to clean up higher education until he finds
        himself in a sticky situation.  Visit an online for profit higher
        education institution nestled high in the Ozarks that goes by the name
        The University of Vermont (of Arkansas).

        If you ever wondered why so many people are mad at higher education,
        wonder no more.  Enroll for a semester at the University of Last
        Resort.  Unlike real college, this will be fun.
