Some thoughts on Saint Regis

I recently received some spam from Saint Regis University.
They were offering to sell me Professorships of all sorts.
I do not have a Saint Regis Degree of any type.

Not knowing anything about this "University", I found their web site
and sucessfully signed up for their forum. There are some interesting
topics discussed.

Interestingly, there are many references to SRU degrees being
equivalent to RA accredited Universities, yet no definitive proof is
ever given. There is only conjecture and anecdotal claims.
Apparently, one can have their SRU degree evaluated by a
career/evaulating service for a fee. A positive evaluation is
guaranteed.

There are grumblings about having SRU removed from a Oregon list of
diploma mills. I have seen nothing to substantiate their removal.

There was also talk of when SRU was in fact founded. There seems to
have been some discrepancy with dating of degrees in relation to the
founding date of the "University". Advice was given to not discuss
this further as this would raise red flags.

A SRU graduate recently resigned from a high profile post in Florida.
Obviously, he did so because of the questionable validity of his
degrees. He should be commended. SRU alumni somehow have a difficult
time understanding this very simple concept.

There are so many mistruths and fabrications in this forum...glad I
didn't buy a Professorship!

Aaaaaaahhhhhh! St. Regis.

Smart person. You wouldn't normally pay to be a professor - they would
pay you.

Also one would normally expect to do some work to earn a degree.

Well, isn't this interesting.

Over at the SRU Forum, they are complaining that a.e.d. posts are
showing up on the online-college.info board. They are talking about
breach of copyright etc...

Then some SRU "alumni" copies the original message of this thread and
posts it in their forum.

Hmmm...this look like breach of contract to me.

Wonder what an attorney would think?

Here on Usenet, we have been assured that "SRU is
most certainly located in Liberia. It is physically located
there as well as incorporated there."

And SRU has a Website in the .lr domain, for which
"Registrations must be from organizations with a real
presence in Liberia" -- http://www.psg.com/dns/lr/lr.txt

Was there any word in SRU's alumni forum about how
SRU's Liberian personnel are coping with the current
civil unrest in Liberia?

Over on degreeinfo, I believe someone had a friend in Monrovia look for
St Regis and failed to find it or anyone who had ever heard of it.

Somehow I suspect that if Monrovia suffered a nuclear holocaust, St
Regis would miraculously survive intact.

Mark,

There is a thread with daily updates on the goings on in Liberia.

There are rather cryptic references to the actual SRU offices there -
if indeed any exist. They say that mail and phone service it out so
it is difficult to contact anyone there.

Recently, someone asked for some documentation. The response was that
this documentation is in Liberia but because of the war, it is not
possible to retrieve it.

Not all to believable if you ask me.
