University of Phoenix was founded and is based in Phoenix, Arizona, so if you want to put scare quotes on a part of it, maybe "University" of Phoenix is the better way. ;-)

I think their point is that most of the University of Phoenix's programs are online.
The time is past, when one could disparage online learning merely for being online.
I don't think that UoP is being disparaged -- it just sounds a bit odd to tie a virtual university to a physical place.

On the other hand, "University of 4Chan" doesn't have the same ring to it.
