From a comment on Ian Lurie’s article: Hawaii Civil Enforcement Lawsuit against Pickering University. Basically stopped Pickering University in Hawaii. It will be interesting to see how this goes with EDUCAUSE. I’ll probably check this out again in about 45 to 60 days.

Questionable use of “.edu” is not uncommon. Here’s one: America.edu Student Journals. America.edu itself is a non-educational institution offering reviews of American Colleges and Universities.

Geez. I am a moron. I forget sometimes… “.ORG” was originally labeled as miscellaneous. There were discussions before it’s transition to the public to make it restrictive to “non-profit organizations”, but it remained open to all registrants. It was an “almost” issue at a previous job because we had a lot of “.org(s)” that were bugging us because somewhere there was some sort of announcement about possible new restrictions… This is ancient history, so don’t ask me how it got embedded in my brain.
