Gag. This is one of those cliched crocks of crap that people try to use as an argument to cast vast generalizations upon those who are competing with them for jobs. "Oh, of course, it's just the good 'ol boys network."
On another note, I received an email just yesterday about "eCornell" as well as "distance learning." I am not sure what the distinction is because I haven't really researched it, but they do make a distinction between eCornell for online courses and certificates, and distance learning. I have the impression that eCornell does not offer actual degrees, but rather, courses to hone expertise in a specific area for career development.
Distance Learning for M.Eng in Systems Engineering
The eCornell page
In this debate, I think this is the bottom line (from the eCornell site):
Learning happens through interaction and collaboration–a dynamic, creative process that involves the exchange of ideas, not simply the accumulation of facts. In eCornell courses you interact with an expert instructor and a cohort of your peers to collectively develop knowledge, and to effectively apply that knowledge in your organization. [
