Global/International University in Warnborough Context

I think I have finally discovered an appropriate definition for the concept of

as practiced by Warnborough to overcome country specific legistlation, regulatory concers and to make themselves appear BIG and beautiful.

My initial idea was to call them

but this one may 'illustrate' the point somewhat more effectively

That's funny!!! They may be striving to be the "butt" of jokes!

 

I don't much like where Southern Africa is located in that picture. But I guess Madagascar is the most grievously insulted.

 

Important question

Ismo raises one very important question which is worthy of indepth analysis:

Is Warnborough 'University' stateless? How is the concept of 'global university' defined?

My response:

Every single university in the world, no matter how it is formed, must belong to some jurisdiction. Moreover, its degree granting authority must emanate from some instrument of law that empowers the university grant degrees and is recognised in the country of origin.

Global universities, claiming not to belong to a country, are a mere fantasy.

Cheers,

Re: Important question

... which brings us conveniently to another important concept

What is a diploma mill?

"There is no universal legal definition of what a diploma mill is. A dictionary definition is a good place to start:

Diploma mill: An institution of higher education operating without supervision of a state or professional agency and granting diplomas which are either fraudulent or because of the lack of proper standards worthless."

— Webster’s Third New International Dictionary

which is denied by Warnborough is particular (see

http://www.wuworldwide.i12.com/emails.htm#two

so, what do we get when we combine a global university and a degree mill?

bad is bad

Some things do not need a precise definition to be adequately clear.

Imagine a nice bowl of chocolate ice cream.

Now add a cup of hot sauerkraut and a half-cup of grapefruit juice.

Note that it's perfectly legal to do this, but it surely makes a revolting dessert.

What, you want me to offer a precise definition of "revolting" before you're willing to accept that this dish will make a person gag?

My Esperanto is dreadful, sorry.
