I'm just about to forward an email I've just composed, about your
previous involvements with the unaccredited MIGS and Greenwich
University. Using my "mass-mail" program, I will forward this to
every faculty member and administrator at the Union Institute.
Specicially, I question the school for the integrity of its
students/graduates; like you, especially, who was twice associated
with two unaccredited schools. I also question the work that you've
done at Union, given your seemingly close relationship with John Bear,
an individual who has involved in promoting three unaccredited schools
(but only to trash them later). Where's the ethicist when we need
her?
Now, before I fire the emails, is there anything else you'd like me to
add?
Thanks!

I certainly don't know that. You've been claiming a relationship with
John Bear long before he got you into TUI.
You know, you really ought to think about what you write before you

I entered Union in 1986. I wrote John Bear a few months later to ask
him to serve on my committee. He agreed.
Hope this helps.

We seem to be runing up against your lack of integrity again...and
again...and again...
I know that long AFTER 1986 (try 1998-9) you were trying to get your
PhD through MIGS - not Union - and bragging (much like a little boy
hiding behind his big brother) about your connection with John Bear.
After MIGS proved a bust John Bear grabbed you by the collar, got your
ass over to Union and got your to working on your PhD - while he sat
on your PhD committee to get you through it.
We had quite a discussion about it - which you apparaently have
forgotten.

So, the facts aren't what you thought, so you just ignore them? And
then you have the nerve to talk about integrity? Here's the one you
need: I contacted John Bear for the first time to request his
participation in my Union program. He was appointed right away. That
was in 1986.
Your anger with me--an obsession that has persisted for years--is both
disgusting and petty. I've invited you to stop, but you're so
immature you can't handle that concept. Well, you're wrong. Try
admitting it, apologizing, and dropping it. (I know, I know, it's

I'm perfectly willing to beleive that you will do anything to avoid

I'm more than willing to accept that you were involved in a Union
program in 1986.
I think any claim by you that you began your Union PhD program in 1986
is more RD BS.
You do not deny you were working with MIGS in 1999 re: a PhD - why
would you be doing that if you were working on it thru TUI? And why,
given your copious blather of all your programs - did you fail to
mention this one?

Another written record indeed.
At least we know that Mr. Douglas mail-order Ph.D was obtained because
he got his own buddy to sit on his committee. It surely speaks of
UIU's high academic standards and certainly speaks of Union's stinkin
reputation.
Let's hope one day Mr. Douglas will actually get a degree not from a
credit-by-testing "university," one that was on probabtion by its
regional accreditor for handing A's like hotcakes, and one that allows
you to hire your buddy to sit on your doctoral committee. What a

You're right; Bear grabbed him by the collar and got him thru his Ph.D

Yes it certainly is. Do a search on "Rich Douglas," "MIGS," "doctoral

Rather than to hear it from me, get it straight from the source!
You'll see distance-ed expert Rich Douglas endorsement of the
unaccredited MIGS, his involvement with the unaccredited Greenwich
University, and how his buddy John Bear (who also owned Greenwich)was
amazing appointed to be his doctoral advisor at Union, and that Mr.
Douglas got TWO bachelor degrees in 2 or 3 years from a
credit-by-testing college called Excelsior and his MBA from National
that was placed on probation by its accreditor for handing out A's
like hot cakes (the later you'll have to go to degreeinfo to see).

Rich is a shining example to distance students everywhere. Thank you
for pointing it out.
Actually Rich's undergrad degrees came from the University of the State
of New York prior to Excelsior assuming control of the program.
All his degrees are regionally accredited so he will never have to ever
be called upon to defend his choices to anyone that matters.

RA is important, but the RA school tier is more important.
Its important to have a degree from a school that has high academic standard
and earned recognition among academians. ( to ligal such as RA)
School with contribution to the research
and sciense.
The last chance degree school is not
a serious achievement and nothing to be proud of.
Its like a janitor who pretends to be a principal.
Dr. John Bear's degrees are from more respected schools with better quality
and reech academic history so
there is value to what he has to say, and his work over the years is
incredible.
Bijan J.D
It is strange to apply such rankings to distance learning institutions. Or
are you unaware of the many academic and professional contributions made by
Union graduates?
I would certainly agree that UC Berkeley and Michigan State are more
prestigious than either National University or Union Institute and
University. What's the point?
What is you name and from which law school did you earn YOUR J.D. degree?
Does it also have a "reech academic history"? (If you're going to criticize
someone's academic ability, demonstrate a bit of your own.)

For someone who subscribes to the CHE, please explain WHY you tried to
go to PhD from MIGs and finally got one from TUI - your posts on
about.com make it VERY clear you hoped to move into academia - which,
as the article makes VERY clear - ain't going to happen with a piece
of paper from TUI.
Why exactly DID you get your PhD? In fact, are ANY of your degrees
from Tier I-III schools. And please no BS about Air Force schools.
Here is the reality. Nothing you have ever done at any level of

Levicoff said: "But I obviously wasn't referring to your first attempt
at a Union doctorate - a failed one that you whined about for years
and which required John's intervention for you to be readmitted, as I
recall.
No, I was referring to your enrollment at the Monterrey Institute for
Graduate Studies, in which you (1) called yourself a PH.D. candidate
despite not even having applied, (2) identified yourself as a research
assistant or some-such, (3) constantly hyped MIGS when everyone knew
that Sheila & Co. were behind it, and (4) never repented of your
travesty without using the word "but." As in, "I fucked up, but..."
All of which shows, of course, that the MIGS forum still has
historical value.
And you still see nothing wrong in calling NAPNSC a legitimate effort,
regardless of the specific language? That makes you a potential danger
to the academic and professional careers of others.
You are new wine, my son - you need to age a bit more before your

Senad,
Keep in mind that Doctor Douglas doesn't have the qualification to
speak for other Union grads; his mentor and friend John Bear, was in
the doctoral committee, and got him right through the program.
Mostly importantly, one wonders what happened during the evaluation
process, and why a credible school would allow such a comical incident
to happen. Therefore, Doctor Douglas shall not be surprised when the
legitimacy of his Ph.D. is questioned (not a problem with its easy
admission requirement and low ranks in prestige, but a problem akin to
getting your local librarian, who's also a good friend, to proctor
one's exam). The ironic part, though, is that Doctor Douglas is a
frequent commentator on academic integrity.
With that said, one also wonders why such a problem never received
much coverage at degreeshitinfo.com, truly, the "CNN" of distance
learning. However, seemingly successful academics with non-RA/NA
credentials are constantly mocked, ganged up, and criticized for
inferior academic competency, integrity, and weak ethics.
Coupled with Doctor Douglas's critical error of the legitimacy of
MIGS, no wonder why many treat Doctor Douglas and degreeshitinfo more
as a form of entertainment and a mechandise shop, than a place for
accurate information.

A search thru the archives of AED indicates that you did some sort of
work the Greenwich University, an unaccredited school previously owned
by John Bear.
Now, are you lying about not knowing John Bear? Or did the name
"Johnny Bear" magically pop up in your mind and so you chose him to be
part of your doctoral committe?
Which degree mill?
I WORK for Union. I'm just in the process of getting my mom and uncle
Bob to sit on my doctoral committee. And since Union allows you to
come up with just about any doctoral programs (i.e. non-traditional
education), I'll be doing a Ph.D. in janitorial science very soon, and
