Vancouver Sun: Another private college faces a government probe
Another private college in B.C. is under investigation for allegedly offering university degrees without authorization. Advanced Education Minister Murray Coell has confirmed that Rutherford College in Richmond is suspected of offering degrees as Rutherford University in violation of provincial law, and he’s hired lawyer Deborah Lovett to investigate.
It is the second time this year the ministry has asked Lovett to inspect a post-secondary institution. Her report on Lansbridge University forced its closure earlier this year shortly after its sister school, Kingston College, was ordered to shut down.
