(20,729 posts)School founded in 2004. I would bet to take advantage of new laws which allowed more private competition for federal higher-ed dollars and student loans.
Now why is this religious school run by Koreans?
My immediate knee-jerk thought is: The Rev. Moon.
Like that other recipient of federal education money, the guru Gulen, Moon has intelligence connections.
To what extent is the deregulation of education a scam to launder money and funnel federal dollars to shady actors?
"The school is affiliated with Praise God Korean Church in Oakland and Shepherd University of San Francisco, but little is known about either institution."
Shepherd U also founded in 2004. Doesn't seem to have a proper website, but seems to also be Korean-run:

Does this so-called "university" feel a little shady? Check it out with google maps.
Not real thrilled about a "university" (Oaksterdam U, in another story today) to teach people the cannibis business, either -- not if it gets federal education funding.
