> and he's using the name for an online school Purdue bought. I've read this several times but not sure what it means - what "name"?

  I read it as: he bought an online school, and started calling it "Purdue" to cash in on the school's reputation.

    Hmm. Purdue bought a school and “cashed in” on their own reputation? Still confused… :)

      I was trying to avoid passing judgment, but... They bought an online school (Kaplan University), then renamed it to Purdue University Global. It's one of the worst schools in the country. The only reason to do that is to cash in on the Purdue brand, and it will likely dilute it over time.
