...Hauser Center Executive Director Aviva L. Argote said the refurbished space would be available to students from 4 p.m. until its closing at 11 p.m., which she called ideal because the Forum—the school’s central student space—often closes at 4 p.m. for special events such as distinguished speakers.

The CIA is not suited for this kind of work, and an interagency effort is the only way to spread blame for an inherently risky program like this. And this is not to mention that if the program is ever launched again you can count...
...Some people involved in the Ph.D. scam have already been given jail time. One former director of the Bergisch Gladbach consultancy was convicted on bribery charges in July 2008 and sentenced to three and a half years in prison. He was found guilty of illegally helping more than 60 students get their doctor titles.
