"University of Phoenix...They are a company that makes it easy to get the same quality diploma that you would get at the local college."

It damages the credibility of the author to make a statement like this. University of Phoenix degrees are less marketable than those of public universities. If someone wants specific evidence there is a Frontline episode on education that features UoP heavily. In addition, UoP is basically a parasitic entity exploiting a loophole. They take federal money intended to provide access to useful education, and people who think a degree will improve their marketability, fail to deliver to either party and pocket a percentage.
