I attended in 1979. I did not matriculate, but I did take regular graduate Physics courses that I had to leave work during the day to attend.

My other exposure to Rutgers is through a very good friend who was a Bell Labs department head for years, who was then Professor at Rutgers for seems about 10 years until probably 2000. He started the Wireless Information Lab which has a superb national reputation for research, graduate, and postgraduate work. I visited him and Lab events many times over the years, and find it implausible that if the undergrad education was a scam he wouldn't have mentioned it.

In fact I'll email him about this, and if he answers post something here.
