St George University International disappears off the face of the earth?

Some of you may have noticed in a previous post, but St George University International http://www.stgeorgeuniversity.edu appears to disappeared into thin air!

The URL has not worked for some time, and e-mails to [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] are all undeliverable.

So, what has happened to SGUI? I believe it has been operating in Japan since circa 1997, and have read stories of the owner, one Dr Rolf (surname escapes me (holder of an ACU/ Summit PhD in Homeopathy)) flying plane loads of Japanese students to their UK 'campus'.

It looks like it has all come crumbling down. Anybody got any other info?

Cheers,

George

 

Prof. Dr. Rolf G. Pussel, PhD, M.Ed, TESC, AA, DIHom, FBIH, is still mentioned in 3 places on the Web: as Japanese director of the Colegio Universitario Tarsis:

as Japanese Director of the British Institute of Homoeopathy:

and as something to do with a site promoting Japanese Soto-Zen-Shu Buddhism:

St George University International "used to claim accreditation from the American Theological Association (a PO Box in Arizona registered to Arkansas Christian University) and the International University Accreditation Foundation, a lovely little setup created by the owner of SGUI, Rolf Pussel. They used to claim to have a campus in Oxford as well, whilst their website was covered in Union Jacks. For the record, they were initially an International Business Corporation on the Turks and Caicos Islands." But it then changed its tune and said: "SGUI is a private international university, and not a UK, USA or Japanese university and not accredited or recognized by any governmental ministry of education. It does not offer licenses and credentials. SGUI is a non-traditional university without the traditional campus, and has no offices or facilities in any other country except for the registered head office in St. Christopher and Nevis. Therefore, some countries or institutions might not accept our degrees."

"As we know, St George has always claimed 'accreditation' from the non-existent 'International University Accreditation Foundation' with their 'Highest Recommendation'. I see the IUAF now has a website located at http://www.iuaf.org The IUAF recommends, yes, you guessed it, SGUI and also Howard University International http://www.howarduniversity.edu"

Hi Guys

Hope some of you might know something about a "degree or two" whom some people in South Africa got "registration" with the governments Allied health professions council. Basically the governing body with us for homeopaths, chiropractors, chinese medicine, massage therapists etc. Its officially stated in a CV I got a copy of, as obtained from St Georges University International the two following doctorates. I Quote: "D.SC., Doctor of Science in Integrative Sciences" and "Psy.D., Doctor of Psychology in Psycho-Somatology- Thesis: "healing the body through the mind" "

these look very suspect to me espacially when considering that you find an estate agents boardexamn as well as a photography course in post mortem photography as well as a hypnotherapists course in the same CV. Any suggestions on tracing the authenticity of these?
