  • Columbia Pacific University (CPU) was an unaccredited nontraditional distance learning school in California. It was founded in 1978 by Richard Crews a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, and Lester Carr, a former president of Lewis University, and operated with state approval. CPU was closed by California court order in 2000. The court also ruled that CPU had granted degrees legally between 1978 and mid-1997. Lester Carr subsequently reorganized the school in Montana, Wyoming, and the Republic of Malawi as Columbia Commonwealth University. It has since shut down in Wyoming. CPU alumni acquired all rights to the CPU name and registered a "Columbia Pacific University" non-profit organization in Delaware. The CPU Press continues its publication program.
