Diane Stottlemyer's Students Speak Out!
Actual Student Posts from a Capella Class!

It's bad enough that Diane Stottlemyer purchased her "degrees" from a diploma mill and is now teaching "graduate-level" courses at Capella University but she also discriminates and retaliates against students with disabilities. Interestingly, she doesn't seem to be bothered by other students in her class who rightfully questioned her competence, absence of professionalism, and lack of integrity. The following messages are actual posts from the class that Diane Stottlemyer retaliated against a student - none of the students who posted comments listed below; however, were subjected to abuse by Stottlemyer or other Capella goons (such as Kurt Linberg, Karen Viechnicki, Greg Thom, Michael Offerman, and others).

All of the following documents were obtained from the United States Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR). While OCR did not redact the names of the students who posting these, we've removed them (as marked in red) to in an attempt to prevent Capella University from retaliating against these students.

  • Student Post 1 - Employed by one of the world's largest computer companies complains about incompetence at Capella
  • Student Post 2 - Complaints about multiple (and different) copies of the course syllabus. What's wrong with that picture?!
  • Student Post 3 - Student complains about Stottlemyer's lack of organization (is that an understatement or what?)!
  • Student Post 4 - Student complains about Stottlemyer's lack of communication (so, what else is new?)
  • Student Post 5 - This student would never recommend Capella University (neither would we).

Student Post 1

This fine student is employed by one of the world's largest computer companies. Hmmmm... We suspect he already knew a whole lot more that Diane Stottlemyer!

Student Post 2

Need we say more? Stottlemyer can't write a syllabus, "didn't have enough time" to update the syllabus, can't create a simple table - oh well, Diane Stottlemyer is only teaching an alleged "graduate-level" course that cost students nearly $2,000 to enroll in.

Student Post 5

Diane Stottlemyer isn't the only one who can't teach - looks like this kind of nonsense happens in other courses at Capella University too! We would like to point out that this student states he/she:

"would never recommend Capella to any of [his/her] friend until Capella learns to expect as much out of itself as it does of learners."

Can't get any plainer than that!
