DeMille no longer president

[The Real George Wythe]

Changes are afoot at GWC. These are hard to keep track of, given that
the organization does not make any press releases.

First off, DeMille is now "chancellor" of George Wythe University, and
is listed as the "former president of George Wythe College."

Andrew J. Groft is "President, Cedar City Campus"--whatever that
means, as I thought each campus is now its own college. By the way,
his bio says he teaches at SUU, but I can't find anything at SUU on
him, other than that he is the advisor for the ASL club, but his
contact information is ajg...@gwc.edu, implying that he is probably
no more than an adjunct faculty at SUU.

Shane S. Schulthies is "designated President, Monticello Campus."
Schulthies actually has a Ph.D. from an accredited institution -- BYU.
Sure it's in exercise science, but this is a huge step up for the
George Wythe organization.

He's now the Chancellor of GWC? Well, according to pattern, in a year he'll be promoted to Führer of GWC.

 

 

Seriously, though. "Chancellor" .... who do they think they're kidding? Can anyone think of a more pretentious organization anywhere?

 

They have no shame, and make no effort to mask their... less than subtle... attempts at pretend enlightenment by making cheap, thoughtless imitations of anything sounding ancient, academic, or enlightened. From the stuffy tape-recorded nocturnes and waltzes blasting in the halls 24 hours a day, to the sitting-in-a-circle and pretending to be congress, pretending to debate the silliest of ideas, and everything else in between, they have created their non-academic school, and the most expensive joke I can think of. A complete and total farce. 

 

And saddest of all... they make themselves all to easy to mock. Beginning with the cheesy titles these hillbillies slap onto their regular goings on. "He's the Chancellor of the Institution of the Oxfordian Method of Classical Education, he's attending the Retreat and is most ecstatic for the very englightened Colloquium before the Statesman Ball. Afterwards he'll teach of Comanity, another hope for Humanity."

 

Translation: "The ring-leader of the education-denying hillbillies is the boss of a con-school, that teaches fewer standards and no education is better education, and he'll be going to yet another BS-overpriced seminar designed to generate revenue, and is nervous for the meeting he's having, involving a few other locals, all blue-collar laymen, while they discuss books they barely read, but can't understand. And further debate about old, dead writers and philosophers they know little about, and have re-invented them to their liking. This meeting, of course, if before the sweaty dance where a bunch of young broodlings will dress up in the tightest, most uncomfortable clothes possible, yet still manage to mismatch colors etc, and jump around like idiots. And then he, the con-man, will coerce his zealots to pedaling a local pyramid-scheme to further his, the con-artist's, financial goals." 

 

Their version is a bit less wordy, maybe that's why they use it...

I'm waiting for DeMille to announce himself as Grand Admiral. And make Shannon a Fleet Admiral.

Many real universities are on the german naming system. I think they
misunderstand it though. I believe that it should be Chancellor for
president and vice chancellors and provosts below. Either way, they
are child's play compared to a real university. Take a step back and
think about it: their Chancellor received his degrees from degree
mills. How stupid is that?
