Run by a former for-profit ed CEO, it looks like.
Is there anything good that has "People's" in its title? The best I can think of is "Peoples Bank" which is at least just a mediocre bank and not genocidal. I must be forgetting something.
A Peoples' History of The United States wasn't bad.
On the other hand, someone later tried to jump on the bandwagon with A Peoples' History of Science that was pretty awful.
I mean there are definitely worse histories of the US and the intentions are probably good, since lefty propaganda is better than righty, but that is still a pretty bad book. On net I don't know how to judge it versus Peoples Bank.
People's Drug Store was a fine drug store chain. They employed me for 2 years after I dropped out of graduate school.
There's a brewery called The Peoples' Pint, but I've never tried one of their beers.
For natural gas providers here, you can pick between Peoples and Dominion.
Anyway, the school here isn't really free. Instruction is free (basically) but assessment costs money. That seems like a different model than a college.
One thing I do know about the People, though, is that if they are United they cannot be Defeated.
The People's Cafe in Berkeley, when I was there, was always stuffed to the gills with people working silently on their laptops - silent/cavernous to an unsettling degree.
9: It sounds like an important step on the journey towards the "skip the classes entirely and just pay for the grades" model.
People's Pint is pretty good - I end up there a couple of times a year. Very hippie, though; I doubt Halford would like it.
If you remove the apostrophe, people's makes an excellent plural noun with which to confuse English learners.
Also, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm is a pretty good album.
So far 15 is in the lead as the only actually good thing (though, that's a terrible title for a great album and also noting that I haven't been to hippy brewery but even if it's pretty good how good can it be). Peoples' Drugs got points for employing Peep but even Mao's PRC employed some good people.
I don't see how UotP works if they are really going to have actual on-line classes limited to 25 people. I could see how you could put up a bunch of videos and coursework and make enough money on charging for tests to not worry about content. But I don't see how they're going to get actual instruction.
But I don't see how they're going to get actual instruction.
I'm guessing that actual instruction is not particularly relevant to the business model.
3: "Everyday People" by Sly and the Family Stone?
18: I have suspicions, but I took the class size from their site.
19: It was ruined by being used for years in those annoying Toyota commercials.
My sister used to work for this outfit. I've never interacted with them personally but she seemed to like it there.
David Peoples is a good screenwriter.
We have a bar called The People's Republic that horrendously misuses the Cyrillic alphabet and other weird letter shapes (backwards L and K) to make it look vaguely Soviet but if pronounced as they would in a real word would sound something like The People's Yerublik.
I love the People's Republic. The fake bomb, the soviet posters, the surly darts players, the trance music, the fact that it will actually stay open until 2.
That genuinely sounds like the greatest bar ever.
At a party in high school, or maybe after high school but with my people from high school, a guy threw a dart into the thigh of this woman I was in high school with. She was really mad.
Peoples College of Law in LA is not at all scammy like UOP seems like it maybe is, but it has other problems, like being unaccredited and a close-to-zero bar passage rate.
The people's elbow was pretty great though.
The Tomorrow People was a mediocre US TV show. (I never saw the British original.)
The People's Palace!

I'm enjoying the irony of saying "uopeople" out loud. Also, it appears that they're legit enough for Berkeley to partner with them (offering people who earn associates degrees to finish a bachelors at UCB).
My daughter worked at Ocean Beach People's Organic Food Market, and you can get a petty good lunch there, if you're in San Diego and hungry.
I wondered if Jack Kirby's florid later characters had made it onto the small screen; turns out I was mixing that up with the Forever People.

30: holy fucking shit. I grew up on the UK version (about teenagers who could teleport) along with Dark Season (launching pad for Russell T Davis, of Queer As Folk and Doctor Who fame, and Kate Winslet, of Working With Known Serial Statutory Rapist Roman Polanski Fame. Also Titanic).
[Other than Dark Season] I reckon Winslet's best role was Little Children. It's well worth watching.
People's Park used to be the best place to go if you wanted to experience the homeless lifestyle as an East Bay middle class teenager.
37: Nonsense. Heavenly Creatures or GTFO.
She will be eternally sunny in my spotless mind.
Huh. Seems less useful for actual students right now than Western Governors'.
I really admire and appreciate Kate Winslet, which is why I hesitate to agree that Heavenly Creatures was her best role. Because wasn't HC her first major role, and possibly her breakout role? and it's kind of sad to think that her first major role was also her best role, when it comes to such an enormously talented actress. But yeah, Kate Winslet in Heavenly Creatures was special.
11: Still is, but isn't that Berkeley/SF/increasingly Oakland all over?
Page Smith's A People's History of the United States is very good.
As for the original post, it's too tempting to drop the o and just call it "U People."
Which becomes UP. Which becomes a marketing campaign.
The People's Computer Company had some cool newsletters.
I never got the "U. P. UP." joke from Ulysses until I said it aloud.
On topic because I feel like the reporter should assume educated readers know how pyramids of skulls work, mass-wise: "But the dig is ongoing, and researchers expect to find more as they get closer to the base of the tower of skulls."
I keep reading the post title as Use of People. Too much Culture.
Then there's people who need people, who are apparently the luckiest people in the world.
I wear these socks, but I'll be honest; they're not as good as Darn Tough.
I've been switching to Darn Tough socks. The name put me off because I thought they would be scratchy, but they're really not.
The map on the website suggests that the UoP is really popular in Greenland. They also seem to have several students on Ellesmere Island (population 190).
Even since they ate the Vikings, the people of Greenland have been noted for their love of at-a-distance learning.
We share the same technology, regardless of climatology
Believe me when I say to you,
I hope the Greenlanders are people too
48: Semillas has the kind of temper that sometimes reminds you that her ancestors burned braziers full of human hearts.
We had a People's Company Bakery here for a while, but the bread was not grate.
I liked the old People's cafe. But I like cavernous places to work.
. . . haven't been to the new location across the street yet.
29: Who pays for an unaccredited law school? I thought in California one had to have an accredited degree *and* pass the bar?
32: also intriguing . . . in principal, if the assessments were good, and the instruction materials were not terrible, this could help a lot of self-motivated people in out of the way places remove some barriers to entry to many opportunities. The same idea as Western Governors' University. In theory, that strikes me as a potentially noble cause. But could it actually work, and would it actually work with this particular cast of characters? Having been involved in for-profit organization previously does not strike me as an automatic disqualification . . .but maybe there's stuff about this guy I don't know. The Board seems tiny and oddly composed.
60.2, it's free. You have to pass a "baby bar" after the 1L year to continue. A lot of people drop out at that point. The program is well-intended but poorly executed. At some point in its history it must have been a more functional institution than it is at present, as it graduated a number of luminaries in the LA public interest (particularly labor) world.
In the 90s there used to be People's Coffee in Portland, and they sold the best banana ice cream.
I also used to go to this downmarket supermarket in China (it was about 3 steps down from Walmart), and its motto was "supermarket of the people" (laobaixing de chaoshi).
A better translation might be: supermarket of the common people.
That's the supermarket where you "pretend you got no money", right?
OT: "The president's own United States Marine Corps Band"? The fuck? Have they ever put it that way before?
I'm having enough trouble cheering for the Eagles. I can't take "my baby's first fascism" also.
It turns out the answer to the question "Can a television network suck a dick?" is "Yes."
Wikipedia says it's a long-standing thing, but I don't recall the TV ever putting it that way before.
That was nice. My team is losing, but damn.
I guess that wasn't technically a fleaflicker, but I don't know what you call it.
I think it was better with the sharks.
I honestly don't understand what makes something a flea flicker, but that was the greatest fucking play in the history of football.
That was nice. Now just run five plays.
I guess we're not running out the clock.
"College debt sucks. Natty Light is here to help" is either genius or an abomination. I can't tell.
That was a great game. Congratulations Philadelphia. (Horses, watch out.)
God bless you Philadelphia for destroying Team Trump. There was a playing of the Rocky theme for the children in this house.
Someone in the neighborhood is setting off fireworks. Sure, the Patriots lost, but there is no sense in not setting off the fireworks you already paid for.
And I assume Philadelphia is already burning?
There's a hill in the way. I can't see.
88: He did, up until an hour ago. Now he'll have forgotten they ever existed.
84: I did it. I willed it to happen. It was me.
I just realized I've been waiting over 40 years for the fucking Eagles to win the fucking Super Bowl. Now I'm free! I assume I will keel over dead by tomorrow, but at least I experienced one moment of freedom before it happened.
84: Here it is in convenient GIF form.
Almost the entire NFL ownership is pro-Trump. But Trump is pro-Kraft & Brady.
Given his background, I'd be mildly surprised if Jeff Lurie, the Eagles owner, specifically voted for Trump. (Hollywood guy, among other things financed the anti-Wall Street not very good but angry doc Inside Job). But the ownership in general is made up of very bad people.*
*exceptions: the Rooneys, the citizen-owners of the Packers, maybe the black guy that owns the Jaguars, and I think that's it.
I think I drank all of the mezcal in the world, possibly. Also after this I forgive the Eagles for the ubiquity of "hotel california"
But did you eat the worm? Or is that no longer a thing?
Lurie donated to Clinton, so I assume he voted for her.
So, I can stomach that loss, but I can't stomach how Bill treated Butler. It probably doesn't mean anything to you all, but he was the guy who won the Seattle SB for us in his rookie year. Bill benched him, in the Super Bowl, for his last game in a Patriots uniform, for some as yet unspecified offense. It cost us the fucking game and is a shameful way to treat a man who has served us well for years. Oh well, I hope the rest of the world enjoys our pain.
Obviously you're scoundrels, so.
98. I dunno what the deal with Butler was either. They could have used him. He's going to be a free agent, so my guess is he's done as a Pat.
Helluva game, though. The Eagles deserve a lot of credit for just being utterly relentless. They get the ball, they score (just one three-and-out, I think). The Pats pretty much did the same thing, but "pretty much" wasn't quite enough. The difference was the Pats' running game wasn't doing well, the pass defense was spotty, and losing Cooks to a "head injury" from a helmet-to-helmet, unaware the defender was coming, was key. The Pats just got out-Pats'd. Funny thing is if Wentz is healthy next season the Eagles will probably play him instead of Foles.
1100+ yards of offense overall. /headdesk
I like how the Eagle's quarterback is so young that his baby has Harry Potter names.
*exceptions: the Rooneys, the citizen-owners of the Packers, maybe the black guy that owns the Jaguars, and I think that's it.
Pakistani immigrant who owns the Jaguars.

Surely the Pats would have won if not for the strip sack/fumble/Eagles recovery. They looked more relentless. In the second half at least, when every play was a pass to Gronkowski or another white guy for 15 yards or a touchdown.
If I had to deal with the shame of owning the Jaguars, I might move to another continent also.
He also owns Fulham FC, having bought them from Mohamed Al-Fayed and taken down Al-Fayed's inexplicable Michael Jackson statue at the stadium.
102: The Eagles gave up a completely freakish interception on the 2-yard line in the first half, so the turnover balanced out.
102, 104 - I dunno what I was thinking. I don't follow the Jaguars obviously. And should probably add the Giants ownership to the "not Republican" list.
Also, googling, did you know that indie-film actress Rooney Mara is in fact part of both the Rooney (Steelers) and Mara (Giants) NFL ownership families? I didn't.
Now I wonder if the 24-Hour Landry by me is named after the Cowboy's coach.
