UN announces free (cheap) online university

http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=30848

Free tuition, admission fee, testing fee. No word on freedom of
materials. Anyone know more about details of this? Something we can
help with?

"[T]he University of the People does not presently confer degrees." [1]

Seems to be something of a misnomer...

News article linked in the first post said they'd already enrolled over 200
students; FAQ says its capped at 300, so I imagine its reached its cap by
now.
