MINUTES for March
8 2014 Monthly Business Meeting for World University and School
Present: Larry Viehland, Scott MacLeod, clerk and recording
clerk; Regrets: Juan Mendez, Govind Nair, Gantt Galloway
-
- Minute: At Larry’s good suggestion, Scott will seek out
some 18 year olds to write down what words they would search on in “Google
Search,” for example, for something like free, MIT OCW-centric, online degrees
(at World University and School). And then see if such words can begin to bring
up WUaS in Google searches, for example, words such as
‘free, STEM education,’ or
‘free degrees,’ or
‘free, MIT education,’ or
‘online, free, accredited, university education’
Through this WUaS will see what's there now, and then find a
way to get those words which bring up WUAS out to prospective 18 year olds,
with outreach.
(I just typed in the above phrases and then added “World
University and School” each time after them, and only after adding WUaS did a
WUaS wiki page then come up.)
WUaS would like to become the MIT / Harvard of the Internet
and in all languages and countries.
- Minute: WUaS will seek to advertise next with Fettes
College alumni magazine, in Edinburgh, Scotland, this April, - for free, MIT
OCW-centric, WUaS degrees. (Fettes College, where Scott went to school in
1976-77 attracts a lot of high achievers, who may well know the value of free,
high quality degrees, now online with WUaS).
- Minute: Scott will seek to speak with a local, public, high school
guidance counselor (at Campolindo and Miramonte) about World University and
School.
- Minute: Scott will
look into Indiegogo crowdsourcing website for fundraising for educational
institutions.
Sincerely,
Scott MacLeod

the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (www.bppe.ca.gov/) and Western Association of Schools and Colleges senior (www.wascsenior.org/), which also accredits Stanford and UC Berkeley for accrediting
online at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the state of California, and
is beginning these accreditation processes.
* World University and School is open and receiving
undergraduate applications for this autumn 2014 for free (since C.C.) MIT
OCW-centric bachelor's degrees.
Students will be taking 32 of these courses over 4 years - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/audio-video-courses/ - for free (C.C.) and MIT-centric, online, accrediting,
WUaS undergraduate degrees, in English, (then in other languages - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/).
