Monroe played an active role in formulating domestic and foreign policy during his two terms, but after a long career in public service, he believed that avoiding political intrigue was the best way to fulfill his mandate as the nation's Republican president.

According to the indictment, the Randocks owned institutions identified as "Saint Regis University," "Robertstown University," "James Monroe University," "James Monroe University High School," and "Trinity Christian School." The schools falsely claimed to operate under the approval of the Liberian government.
The “schools” were closed by court order in June 2005, and are named by the State of Oregon’s Office of Degree Authorization as “fake schools” and “degree mills.” Such degrees are invalid, and a person using them to claim to have credentials associated with a degree from an accredited educational institution is committing fraud.
Federal investigators also assert that half the phony degrees sold by "Saint Regis University," "Robertstown University," and "James Monroe University" went to purchasers in foreign countries, many of whom were "students" from Saudi Arabia.
