Why not? Actually Cousera does not offer any degrees which I believe
is the point of Minnesota's law; if you offer a degree you must meet
certain criteria to operate in Minnesota. AFAIK, all states have
similar laws to prevent/shut down diploma mills. The problem appears
to be either a badly written law or more likely a moronic bureaucrat
misapplying the law.<br>
<br>
I am tempted to write a snide letter to the mis-Governor of
Minnesota and ask what kind of mindless idiots they hire.<br>
