We're certain you'll be shocked at factual (and verifiable ) information posted on Capella Facts.

Capella University Forced to Comply with Federal Law!

Capella University, after refusing for FOUR YEARS to comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which requires that they produce education records within forty-five (45) days of the initial request (in this instance, that initial request was made on July 10, 2004) and due their ongoing refusal to produce those same records when a Federal law enforcement agency determined that the University had violated that law on ten different counts on September 24, 2007, a Federal Magistrate has now given Capella just ten days to produce those records (and that doesn't include all of the records that they've failed to produce). In an order dated, June 26, 2008, the judge ordered,

In addition to the fact that a demand for Sanctions has been filed against Capella University and one of their "attorneys," H. Christian L'Orange, that is currently before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, (which was filed approximately one week ago) due , in part, to their ongoing refusal and intentional lies about complying with FERPA in signed documents presented to Federal Courts (plural), formal complaints have been lodged against H. Christian L'Orange with the California Bar Association. In addition, one of Capella University's in-house "attorneys," Priscilla McNulty (who makes literally makes faces at people during depositions) has also been caught intentionally lying to Federal law enforcement agency. McNulty's personal and brazen disregard for the law has already resulted in formal complaints against her for lying and obstruction of justice - with more complaints being filed within the week. The most blatant lie that McNulty has recently told is well documented in an arrogant letter she wrote on December 12, 2007 to United States Department of Education, Family Policy Compliance Office. In that letter, McNulty very specifically stated,

FACT: Due to Capella's ongoing refusal to comply with Federal Law, as noted in both the Magistrate's order of June 26, 2008, as well as in McNulty's letter on December 12, 2007, in which both acknowledge the USDE FPCO violations letter of September 24, 2007 - which found TEN violations of FERPA - there can be no doubt that Priscilla McNulty lied! As Michael Offerman (now Capella's Executive Grand Poopah), Greg Thom (Capella's chief shyster), Priscilla McNulty, and both of Capella's "attorneys" from the law firm of Drinker Biddle & Reath, H. Christian L'Orange, and Stella Fey Epling have all actively engaged in illegally withholding documents demanded four years ago (again, they were required, by law, to produce those documents within just 45 days), many more complaints will now be filed with a variety of law enforcement and other agencies.

As both Capella University and Drinker Biddle & Reath monitor this (and other sites) on nearly a daily basis, they are being put on notice that their refusal to provide ALL documents as required under FERPA, and as now ordered by a Federal Court, will not be tolerated. Furthermore, as Chris L'Orange has participated in Capella University's McCarthyist shenanigans refusal to engage in ethical behavior and had the audacity to infer that all names will be redacted from any of the records that they may (we're not going to hold our breath) turn over, L'Orange (who still can't even pronounce the acronym "FERPA" ) and his lawbreaking clients need to know that only student names (in most, but not all) cases may be redacted, the names of Capella University employees, officials, agents, shysters, surrogates, etc. MUST appear on those documents an may NOT be redacted. Of course, this fact has already been confirmed with the USDE FPCO they should contact the:

to ensure that they comply with the law. Considering that L'Orange's rambling pontifications before Federal Courts about upholding decorum should also mean that he (and his clients) need to learn how to abide by the LAW. Now isn't that an interesting thing for a "lawyer" to consider?!

One of Capella's LYING Attorneys,
H. Christian L'Orange
has another temper tantrum because
Kurt Linberg was caught lying under
penalty of perjury!

In his ongoing and intentional quest to violate Federal Laws, on behalf of his "client" Capella University, H. Christian L'Orange is not only continuing to refuse to comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) by making threats whenever the TRUTH is exposed. Of course, L'Orange has been so consistently STUPID, as court records consistently attest, that he is unable to pronounce the acronym "FERPA", let alone abide by the law. Perhaps he should stop swimming with sharks and learn how to read.

While essentially EVERY one of Capella's unethical shysters have lied (often under penalty of perjury) stating that Capella has complied in full with FERPA (and yet, nearly four years after one such request for records under FERPA was made), all of those records have NEVER been produced. Furthermore, Capella University is STILL under investigation for their intentional refusal to comply with that Act and yet L'Orange continues to cry - like the unethical lying baby he really is - because one of those records, which is CLEARLY an "education record" as defined by Federal law, has been posted by a student that PROVES CONCLUSIVELY, that Capella University intentionally denied and, indeed, kept hidden the FACT that they deny due process to those who stand up to their evil practices.

So, to highlight the latest unethical actions of H. Christian L'Orange, we've added a new page to this site that demonstrates that Capella's own Kurt Linberg not only lied under penalty of perjury (as has L'Orange) by claiming "he didn't know" if a student he abused had been "disenrolled" but was, in fact, actively involved in INTENTIONALLY COVERING UP evidence which PROVES this fact!

New! (June 10, 2008)

Unlike real universities, which often list the full curriculum vitaes of their faculty, Capella University HIDES that information from the public - and with good reason - they literally hire and retain incompetent "instructors" who have bought degrees from diploma mills. This FACT has long been reported on this site regarding Diane Stottlemyer who bought and used bogus degrees from known diploma mill, "Lacrosse "University." While Capella University steadfastly HIDES their faculties "academic accomplishments" (try not to laugh), we've just obtained a copy of Capella University's 2001 Catalog - that LISTS one of Stottlemyer's FAKE degree (she bought more than one from the same diploma mill). Seven YEARS later, Stottlemyer remains on Capella's "faculty" even though Capella has KNOWN FOR YEARS about Stottlemyer! A real university would have never hired such a charlatan, let alone let her remain on staff!

New Web Site About Capella University's Unethical Practices

Capella Facts

This site will feature true stories about Capella University's ongoing unethical and dishonest practices, their refusal to bargain in good faith, and first-hand documents, created by their unscrupulous employees and officers. We're confident that many of the never-before- seen documents that will be published there, will certainly shock many.

All students (oops, make that "learners") who have been abused by Capella University will want to submit their reviews to the:

Capella University GUILTY
U.S. Dept. of Education, Office of the Inspector General finds Capella Overcharged More Than
Half of a Million Dollars!

Click here to read the USDE Report on Capella's Violations

This breaking story has just been released (March 12, 2008) by the Chronicle of Higher Education and notes that Capella University Overcharged Student Lenders $588,000! That's right, Capella and their unethical administrators have been caught violating the law again. As previously reported on this site, Capella University has:

Interestingly, Capella's insiders (including Michael Oaf Offerman) seem to have no problem cashing in on their stock options. Heck, copy of the Report by the United States Department of Education, Office of the Inspector has also just been released and reports on Capella's latest violations of Federal Law! Here are a few highlights:

Why are tax payers funding a sleazy operation like Capella "University?" Oh well, as Oaf Offerman stated during his PR stunt with his "Transparency by Design" nonsense, "We have the courage to do the right thing." If that's the case, then why does Capella continually violate Federal laws? We urge the Office of the Inspector General Inspector to throw the book at Capella.

Oh. . .lest we forget, Capella's lying chief shyster, Greg Thom, is about to be reported to the USDE for lying to Federal law enforcement agencies. That should be a lot of fun!

Capella University's Violation of Federal Law is now the subject of our latest multimedia extravaganza!

In addition the the media reports regarding Capella University's kickback scam with other schools whereby they're paying $500 for every student that enrolls in their substandard programs (taught by charlatan's such as Diane Stottlemyer who have literally bought and used fake degrees from diploma mills), Capella University dishonest, lying president, Michael Oaf Offerman is also being exposed for the FACT that he, along with his equally sleazy chief shyster, Greg Thom, are the two individuals responsible for Capella University's violation of Federal law.

Not content to continue their intentional violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (more than a full month after Oaf Offerman and Shyster Greg Thom, were personally notified of Capella's TEN VIOLATIONS of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), they continue to refuse to abide by the demands of a law enforcement agency that they comply. Of course, Capella University's equally vile and unethical lying shysters, Sir Chrisy the Sissy L'Orange and Horse's Ass, Capella Stella Fey Epling, from the "law firm" of Drinker Biddle & Reath, have also refused to abide by the same law (and are; therefore, also lawbreakers) we've created a special multimedia extravaganza featuring none other than Michael Oaf Offerman's latest publicity stunt - our rendition of the press conference he just gave at the National Press Club last week on his latest scam - the "Transparency by Design" initiative in which Offerman claims was created to promote accountability! It is known that Offerman personally refused to answer questions to reporters about Capella's unethical kickback agreements with other schools. Of course the FACT that Offerman and his shyster squad (Thom, Priscilla McNulty, L'Orange, Epling) are all participants in Capella's violation of FERPA, reveals that "Transparency by Design" is nothing more than a huge pile of oral excrement being spewed by Offerman to hide his illegal and unethical conduct. (BTW, we don't want to forget that Oaf Offerman is also cashing in, BIG TIME, by exercising his insider stock options -over TWO MILLION dollars in recent months!) Since we put up "Transparency by Design, Deceit on Purpose" on the Capella Sucks Blog, Capella and their shysters have again invaded our sites as part of their visit fetish (they certainly seem to get their jollies by endlessly living on our sites).

So, with that in mind,, we thought that we would make it easy for them to view Offerman's hypocritical marketing drivel by giving his "presentation "it deserves - on our front page. Enjoy!

Capella University's Unethical Practices Exposed by the Los Angeles Times!

(So many of Capella's unethical and illegal practices are being exposed that it's tough to give them all the headlines they deserve. In addition to the Los Angels Times and Chronicle of Higher Education articles regarding the Capella University - University of California Kickback Scam, you'll want to read about the FACT that Capella University has just been found GUILTY of violating Federal Law - not just once, but TEN TIMES - and that investigation is still ongoing.)

NEWS FLASH!

The Capella University - University of California Kickback Scam is now being reported by:

In addition to the unfolding scam in which for-profit Capella University is paying kickbacks to other schools, we strongly urge the news media to look into the fact that Capella University literally hires and retains charlatans who have bought and used fake degrees from diploma mills. One of those charlatans is Diane Stottlemyer who is at the very center of the lawsuit that uncovered the current kickback scandal. Some of Stottlemyer's "degrees" may be found on this site at:

Capella Charlatan, Diane Stottlemyer, Exposed

It also needs to be mentioned that Gary Matkin, the Dean of Continuing Education and Kickback Studies at UC Irvine, along with Robert Dynes, President of the UC System KNEW about Capella's charlatan more than two years ago - and they did NOTHING.

Capella University's unethical practices of paying kickbacks to schools such as the University of California, Irvine (UCI) has been exposed once more – this time by the Los Angeles Times. Not only that, but the Times has also exposed new information about the fact the Capella University has kickback arrangements with two other schools within the University of California system – UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz. It appears as if UC Berkeley may have also signed a kickback agreement with Capella but, allegedly, none of UC Berkeley’s students were scammed into transferring into Capella. Not surprisingly, Gary Matkin, the unethical Dean of Continuing Education, just happens to be good buddies with Capella University's equally unethical President and liar, Michael Oaf Offerman, is trying to worm his way out of this scam. According the LA Times,

"Gary Matkin, UCI's dean of continuing education, said the money was used to market students' eligibility to transfer to Capella in the extension program's quarterly catalog, on its website and through letters sent to students. Matkin, who set up the arrangement in 2002, said, 'Everything we did was perfectly legal, straightforward and in the best interests of our students.

'People are misconstruing this as somehow being, if not illegal, unethical, so we're just going to stop.'"

Surely, Gary Matkin is a complete moron if he sees nothing wrong with his school's unholy alliance with Capella University. Of course, Matkin is such a jerk that he tires to hide the FACT that he, UCI's moronic Chancellor, Michael Drake, and the extraordinarily unethical president of the entire UC system, Robert Dynes (you remember him – he;s the one that politicians and members of the public, alike, screamed for his resignation when it had been exposed that Dynes has been living like a king off of taxpayer dollars), all KNEW about the fact that UCI was taking kickbacks, as well as the FACT that the Capella instructor, Diane Stottlemyer, who is at the heart of the lawsuit currently pending against Capella, had bought fake degrees from a diploma mill. As with all dishonest and unethical sleaze bags like Gary Matkin, Michael Drake, Robert Dynes, and Michael Oaf Offerman, they sat around and did NOTHING. Well, that's not exactly true. Gary Matkin is such a dishonest and unethical moron that instead of responding to complaints about the corruption at Capella, he COOPERATED with Capella in their sleazy defense against the student.

Before we continue, we want to point out what the unethical money-mongers from the UC system KNEW about the Capella situation more than two years ago (they've had more than enough advance warning prior to the recent news reports about the unethical Capella-UC kickback scam). The following thugs all received e-mails about the situation:

Gary Matkin, Dean of Continuing Education and Kickback Scams at UCI
Michael Drake, UCI Chancellor and Oaf (who has been involved in numerous scams including (but not limited to) the recent Erwin Chemerinsky scandal, the black-market sale of body parts (yes, you read that correctly). Click HERE to view one story about Michael Frankenstein Drake and his body snatchers that is posted on a CBS News web site.
Robert Dynes, the corrupt President of the entire UC System, is such an unethical scumbag that he had that audacity to admit,

"to a culture in his office of 'trying to get away with as much as possible and disclose as little as possible.’"

Click HERE to read one of the stories about Dynes' unethical behavior.
Michael Oaf Offerman, Capella’s President and Liar - Oaf Offerman may not officially work for the UC system, he's certainly the first thug that Gary Matkin whines to when UCI students complain about the corruption at Capella. As a result, we're including Offerman in this list because Matkin (and perhaps Dynes and Drake) refused to respond to complaints but had no problem forwarding them onto Capella and their shysters.

Now that we've got that settled, readers will be interested in reading parts of one of the complaints that had been sent off to Dynes and his goons:

"UCI has been receiving money, from Capella University, for marketing their diploma mill. As I mentioned in [an earlier] correspondence to you, the 'instructor' at the heart of [the] lawsuit against Capella literally purchased her 'degrees' from another diploma mill. It is abhorrent to think the University of California, as a respected public institution, is helping to market a for-profit scam like Capella University. Why?"
"Capella University pays UCI for students who enroll and then complete some of their courses at their diploma mill. Why?"
"In light of the fact that at least one of [the] 'instructors' [Diane Stottlemyer] at Capella literally purchased her "graduate degrees" from a diploma mill (Lacrosse University), why does the University of California continue to endorse Capella University?"

Wonder why scumbags Matkin, Drake, and Dynes refused to respond? Obviously, they've not only endorsed the Capella-UC kickback scam for more than two years but also have also endorsed Capella's practice of hiring charlatan's like Diane Stottlemyer.

The Los Angeles Times, like the Chronicle of Higher Education, met with the same kind of moronic excuses from one of Capella University's spokesholes, Michael Walsh. The Times stated that,

"Michael Walsh characterized the referral fees as 'tuition-sharing payments' to offset UCI's costs for marketing his school's programs."

Clearly, Walsh is just another two-faced moron. "Tuition-sharing payments?" Give us a break! Walsh is simply too dishonest to say that Capella University has been paying KICKBACKS! The only thing we can thank Walsh for is that he's added a new term("tuition-sharing payments") to the ever-expanding Capella-speak lexicon! Click HERE to view our Capella-speak glossary.

The Times then reported that,

"Capella has 'numerous' credit-transfer programs, mostly with community colleges, Walsh said, but he declined to disclose how many involve per-student payments."

So, spokeshole Walsh, just how many community colleges are receiving kickbacks from Capella? What are you so AFRAID to tell the truth?

The Times shed some new light on other "alliances" that Capella has with other UC schools; the article mentioned a spokeshole from Robert Dynes Office, Chris Harrington, who stated that "[UC] Santa Cruz does not receive payments." Gosh, perhaps Chris Harrington is one of the people from Dynes Office who tries "to get away with as much as possible and disclose as little as possible?'" (Click HERE to see the San Francisco Chronicle Article where sleazebag Dynes makes that statement.)

The Los Angeles Times stated that Ann Guy, a spokeshole from UC Berkeley, (oops, we almost forgot to mention that Gary Matkin worked at UCB before moving on to lead the Kickback Studies programs at UCI) commented that,

"Berkeley also is ending the program because of the public perception of ethical problems, said Ann Guy, spokeswoman for the university's extension program."

Getting back to another one of Gary Matkin the Moron' asinine statements, the Times noted,

"Because it [Capella University] is for-profit, I [Matkin] felt that it was logical for us to seek some sort of compensation for the marketing we are doing for them," Matkin said, "so we asked them to give us money for the number of students that matriculated to them."

Is Matkin REALLY that STUPID? Why of course he is! WHY is a non-profit state school MARKETING for a for-profit scam like Capella University? There is NOTHING logical about that. Oh yeah, we almost forgot, Gary Matkin and Capella’s President, Michael Oaf Offerman are good ‘ole boys.

The Time's article concluded with a real kicker:

"David Hawkins, director of public policy and research for the National Association for College Admission Counseling, in Alexandria, Va., said such arrangements appeared to be in conflict with the association's ethical code, which bars member schools from accepting payments for placing or recruiting students. UCI is not a member, but UC Berkeley is.

'Any time you reduce the basis of recruitment to cash kickbacks or commission sales, the ability and willingness of recruiters to act in the interest of students goes downhill quickly," he said.'"

It should be very evident that Gary Moneybags Matkin, Michael Frankenstein Drake, Robert Dishonest Dynes, and Michael Oaf Offerman all have something other than the interest of students in mind – their own self-centered hides. Frankly, they should all be fired.

Capella University GUILTY!

A Federal Law Enforcement Agency has Just Found Capella University in Violation, on TEN COUNTS, of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)!

In yet another secular announcement, within the past two days, the Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO), a law enforcement agency of the United States Department of Education, has just informed Capella University's lying President, Michael J. Oaf-Offerman (who is also involved in the Capella University - University of California, Irvine kickback scam that was also just reported by the Chronicle of Higher Education) that his "school" has been found in violation, on TEN COUNTS, of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) for their intentional refusal to turn over education records of a student who is currently suing them. What makes this even more disgusting is that well over THREE YEARS have already transpired and Capella still hasn't produced those records (and; therefore, the FERPA investigation against them remains open)!

While there is much, much more to this story than we are currently reporting (to be posted in the near future), the FPCO notified Oaf-Offerman in a letter dated September 24, 2007 that there were ten items that the student had request but that Capella has refused to produce for which,

It can't get any plainer that that! Again, will be posting much more on this matter, including the countless number of times that Capella own unethical shysters have stuck their big ~~feet~~ hooves, in their mouths regarding this important case!

Former Capella University "Instructor"

Sharon Bender Accused of Plagiarism!

And is now being sued for her apparent dishonesty!

Minnesota's Pioneer Press reported (June 16, 2007) "In rare turnabout, student accuses teacher of plagiarism" regarding the case of student-hero, Mary Swenson, for suing Capella University "instructor" Sharon Bender. The article states that,

Gosh, isn't that nice?! Obviously, Sharon Bender appears to be joining other corrupt and unethical Capella University instructors such as: Diane Stottlemyer (the one who buys and uses bogus degrees from diploma mills), Shawn Ambrose (Capella's head cheerleader who harasses other students), Richard Costello (caught using another employer's computers to "teach" Capella courses), as well as many, many more employees.

The Pioneer Press noted that many other interesting items including Capella University's claims about obtaining accreditation from the American Psychological Association (APA) -

As we have long noted, Capella has been trying, for many years to obtain accreditation from the APA without success. Hopefully, they never will.

interestingly, the article notes that one of Capella's "attorneys" (which must be either shyster Greg Thom or his side-kick, Priscilla McNulty) had the audacity to send a threatening letter to Swenson. Specifically, "the letter also warned that Swenson's 'continual actions in placing blame on others, including claims that everyone from her editor to her mentor to members of the (doctoral) committee changed her work, raise serious issues of academic integrity.'" In light of the blatant lack of integrity that has been so consistently displayed by shyster Greg Thom, as well has the hilarious drivel submitted to the court (concerning another lawsuit against Capella) by Priscilla McNulty, they are the LAST individuals, anywhere, to threaten others regarding the topic "integrity."

"scheduled for trial this summer in Anoka County, Swenson's lawsuit against Bender may offer an unvarnished look at who controls ideas in the give-and-take of college research.

Capella University and their Sleaze Team Refuse to Turn Over Records

Photo of Capella's Lying Shyster, Greg Thom

Capella University and their Sleaze Team have refused, for THREE YEARS, to turn over education records as required by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) - the initial request was made on July 10, 2004. FERPA requires that such records be turned over within forty-five days of the initial request. Just as disgusting is the fact that Sir Chrisy the Sissy (H. Christian L'Orange) and Capella Stella Fey Epling have consistently thrown temper tantrums when they don't get their way. For example, take a look at the whiney letter that Sir Chrisy wrote more than a year ago. To date (July 23, 2007) Sir Chrisy the Sissy, Capella Stella, shyster Greg Thom (pictured at the left), Thom's lying sidekick shyster Priscilla McNulty, and Capella have also REFUSED to turn over all documents demanded by a formal Request for Production made of them last December (2006). In other words, they are intentionally engaged in the obstruction of justice.

FERPA Counter

The following counter displays the days, hours, minutes, and seconds since a demand for educational records under FERPA was made and for which Sir Chrisy the Sissy (H. Christian L'Orange), Capella Stella Fey Epling, Shyster Greg Thom, and Shyster Priscilla McNulty have all intentionally refused to comply with.

Failure to Produce Documents Counter

Like the FERPA Counter Above, Capella University and their sleaze team, lead by Sir Chrisy the Sissy L'Orange and his lying sidekick, Capella Stella Fey Epling, have refused to turn over an enormous number of documents demanded under a formal "Request for Production" made more than SEVEN MONTHS AGO, on December 1, 2006! As we've already noted, Sir Chrisy the Sissy whines like a little girl when he doesn't get his way and yet both he, Capella Stella, along with Capella's shyster twins, Greg Thom & Priscilla McNulty, are engaged in what we believe is an intentional obstruction of justice. Heck, they can't even cough up Capella's charlatan, Diane Stottlemyer's resume! What's wrong Chrisy? Afraid of the TRUTH?!

In light of Sir Chrisy's continual temper tantrums, we are now convinced that he, along with his sidekick Capella Stella Fey Epling, are hypocrites who intentionally engaged in the obstruction of justice - there is NO REASON that they shouldn't have coughed up such simple things as the resumes of Capella's charlatans - SEVEN MONTHS AGO - so, in honor of the ongoing deceit and intentional obstruction of justice, we're going to post a new, shocking FACT about Capella on this site everyday.

Due to the Ever Increasing Number of FACTS that we're posting on our site about Capella University and their Lying Shysters, please visit our Capella University Lawsuit FACTS Page!

BTW, it's now been an entire MONTH since we started posting true FACTS about Capella University and their shysters as a direct result of their ongoing to refusal to comply with a Demand for Production, made more than EIGHT MONTHS ago (on December 1, 2006), as well as their ongoing refusal to comply with a FERPA demand made more than THREE YEARS ago. As these hypocritical liars have made no attempt to provide the (what a surprise), we got plenty of TRUE FACTS about Capella University and their shysters - Greg Thom & Priscilla McNulty, along with their sleazy unethical "defense" team from the "law firm" of Drinker Biddle & Reath, Sir Hypocrite "Hank" the Liar L'Orange and his trusty steed, Horse's Ass Capella Stella Fey Epling. Be sure to visit our FACTS Page to learn more about these unethical dung heaps!

Capella University dot Org is dedicated to halting the abuse of students by some of Capella University's highest-ranking (and most dishonest) officials. We've already posted actual student complaints (never before seen outside of Capella University's "General Discussion Forum"), materials demonstrating how this "accredited online university that takes online education to the next level," hires instructors who have purchased their graduate "degrees" from other online diploma mills, ignores student complaints on a vast scale, and is run by a bunch of jerks and liars. At the present moment, we are in the process of posting the names and true stories about dishonest individuals at Capella University, including those of the President, Provost, Chief Counsel, at least one Dean, and many others who we feel have abused students.
