University of Phoenix: Should I leave it on my LinkdIn?

I know this has been posted countless times, but those posts are archived and over a year old. So, I wanted fresh information on what to do.

I have a Bachelor's from UoP and I leave it off my resume (Now, anyway) and my LinkdIn to remove the stigma and judgement behind it.

Now, at the time (2009), I had only heard about UoP being easy to enroll in, transfer to, and the physical school was 3 miles from my home. After exhausting local colleges and universities and being subsequently rejected, I really had no choice as I was nearing my mid-twenties and needed something to start generating income over the plethora of min-wage jobs I had under my belt.

So, when I graduated in 2013, I thought I was ready for career work. 3 years later, I finally landed a salary position completely unrelated to my 'degree' after countless interviews and applications leading no where...

After reading horror stories, I'm beginning to realize why I was never even considered even though I have plenty of personal and hands-on experience. I understand the stigmas with for-profits, but I find it unfair that I'm being judged simply because I didn't go to fancy brick and mortar school or one that is recognized locally versus something I had the only chance to enroll in at the time... I like to say I've plenty of experience on my resume to circumvent that kind of ignominy (a lot of IT experience), but I was proven wrong I guess...

I'll eventually go back to university one day. I'm fine working where I do, but now, coworkers are trying to add me on LinkdIn and I've only posted the other college I went to that I didn't even get a degree from since I transferred. They're wondering what I did for X amount of years, but I fear putting UoP on my LinkdIn will have adverse affects to my current employment...

Should I even bother placing UoP on my LinkdIn?
