Oberg to establish Klein Kollege
Learning Minister Lyle Oberg today announced the establishment of "Klein Kollege" which is to serve as a new model for higher education in Alberta.
"Albertans have been asking for innovative thinking in higher education for a long time and for once we're going to deliver" said Oberg from his Constituency Office in Brooks. This new approach to obtaining university degrees is expected to save the government over $1 billion annually when fully implemented in two years. Savings will come from laying off all academic and support staff at Universities and Community Colleges throughout the province.
Research staff at Alberta Learning, who have been looking for less expensive ways to deliver University degrees, will be modeling Klein Kollege after the prestigious Affordable Degrees division of Rochville University. Here degrees can be obtained in approximately 15 days at a cost ranging from $249 for a Bachelor's to $349 for a Doctorate. Each degree comes with ten beautifully inscribed documents.

Oberg went on to say that Klein Kollege will feature a number of the most popular features of Rochville University including No Studies, No Attendance, No Waiting, No Examinations, and No Hefty Fees. An Alberta First innovation at Klein Kollege will be No Term Papers.
Klein Kollege will be delivered through special cubicles located at Alberta Registries throughout the province beginning in the fall of 2005.
