SRU - Is this for Real?????

Has anyone noticed the recent welcome page at SRU:

http://saintregis.edu.lr/welcome.htm


and their response to Oregon's ODA:

????????

 

It seems like they're not even trying to hide it anymore.

 

"Oregon State Postmaster" Lol, maybe some one should explain the difference between State and Federal government to "Dr." Stefaniak.

 

Re: Re: SRU - Is this for Real?????

I think he means "Webmaster" since he cites only e-mail in that paragraph.

 

Darn,

I don't get to read any of it, there website is down..... (hopefully for good?)

 

Bob Stefaniak...

In the brief time that my friend had access to SRU's discussion board on their own web site, she was able to observe the gradual transition of Mr. Bob Stefaniak from amazed student (that he could actually get a degree so easily) to "humanitarian advocate" (completely buying into the Liberian humanitarian aid drive thing) to total mouthpiece/stooge for the organization.

It is amazing how one can convince oneself that all this nonsense is valid. Bob is a case study in the process of how that happens.

In some of his early posts, he commented that his wife could not quite believe that he was "into this sort of thing", since she had a legitimate graduate degree and thought what he was doing was foolish at best, and perhaps dangerous or wrong at worst. However, he continued to comment on how she was starting to see some real value in what he was doing, etc. All part of his over-active imagination.

I feel sorry for Bob Stefaniak. SRU has used him and abused him, and will soon spit him out as they move onto other victims. It would be good to know just who exactly is behind this thing and have the federal government go after them. Is it Dixie Randock? Is it Richard Hoyer? Some faceless criminals / remnants from the Taylor regime in Liberia? Who?

One thing for sure, it ain't Bob Stefaniak.... or for that matter, Dennis Chandler, another stooge who started to believe in his own fantasies....

 

Getting back to the original title of this thread, I believe that the audience that SRU plays to is the people that Carl is discussing, those in deep denial.

 

Re: Re: Re: SRU - Is this for Real?????

Then, perhaps, someone should explain the use of the English language to "Dr." Stefaniak. As one might say to a three year old, "Use your words Bob."

The gentleman seems to be an SRU PR man:

Re: Re: Bob Stefaniak...

He is indeed that now, but from my friend's "inside information" he started as a somewhat incredulous SRU "student" who couldn't quite believe he could get a PhD so easily. Then he got compromised into the whole plot as a new SRU "faculty member" (like so many other of their "students"), and then became the self-proclaimed leader of the SRU "humanitarian aid drive for Liberia", and now he has assumed the role of "spokesperson".

All the while the real owners (and profiteers from this operation) lurk around behind the scenes completely invisible to the outside world while they use and abuse poor suckers like Bob Stefaniak as their water carriers.... Living the dream that they indeed are "doctors" and that SRU is, despite all evidence to the contrary, an upstanding and decent university.

 

I can't hit the SRU links, are they working for everyone else?

 

I think they changed it. I did a find on the page for Oregon and didn't get a hit.

Hey- that means they're flexible and can change things to meet demand for a modern world, right?

 

That certainly seems to be the case. It's become increasingly obvious that they are what they are. It's hard to imagine how someone could view them as legitimate.

they seem to be closed

Yes, it seems that St. Regis has closed. Maybe they no longer have gov. registry in Liberia.

That is the only way i can hit SRU.

 

They're open for biz:

Works for moi.

 

In addition to oxymoronically claiming to be a “New Traditional” University, St. Regis now appears to have unashamedly appropriated IBM’s tag line, "In Demand Skills for an On Demand World.''

You’d think that a “university” with a School of Art and a School of Music, would display more creativity; you’d think that a “university” with School of Business and a School of Law would know better.

 

I just tried

http://saintregis.edu.lr

and got a blank white page entitled "St. Regis University Nationally Accredited".

Their 'welcome' page still works

http://saintregis.edu.lr/welcome.htm

but if you click on 'home page' in the upper left, you are back at the blank white page.

The link that once led to SRU's response to the ODA

http://saintregis.edu.lr/Press%20Release%20May%2020%202004.htm

now leads to some text on defamation lifted from the Lectric Law Library.

Libel - is a published or broadcast false and defamatory statement which damages the reputation of an individual.

According to the THE 'LECTRIC LAW LIBRARY(tm) (See www.lectlaw.com ) libel is
Published material meeting three conditions: the material is defamatory either on its face or indirectly; the defamatory statement is about someone who is identifiable to one or more persons; and the material must be distributed to someone other than the offended party; i.e. published; distinguished from slander. (For more details, see http://192.41.4.29/def/l032 ).

 

didja see this?

Price to become an affiliate school is on the SRU site now:

"General school" fees are higher ($25,000/year), "Sub-Affiliates" fees are lower ($7,500/year). Independent Affiliate Colleges pay $10,000/year.

SRU is once again breaking ground in institutional organization, planning, and delivery (read facade). Perhaps part of the goal may be trying to present a shell game to law enfocement? The rule "just follow the money" should make it all clear in the end.
