Answer» What is Columbia Pacific University mean? 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. Distance learning and education authority John Bear gave "high marks" to the school in his 1982 Bears' Guide to Non-Traditional College Degrees, 8th edition. CPU was closed by California court order in 2000. CPU alumni acquired all rights to the CPU name and registered a "Columbia Pacific University", a non-profit organization in Delaware. Until 2007, the CPU Press continued its publication program. reference
