    I am grateful to a member of the 'other' DegreeInformation forum for pointing me to the URL that shows that President Benlisha of Vanguard University has just this month acquired his Ph.D. from St. Regis University.

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

    What more do we need to know?

    Oh no. Reading the abstract, it's clear that he's also functionally illiterate.

    I see St Regis has pulled their web site temporarily. Interesting how much time the plow into game playing.

    I just find this absolutely fascinating. Why publish the abstract and information about an earned PhD, then pull it when someone makes comment about it? What is there to hide?

    Well, its too late - I already had it saved to HD for Ron.

    Cheers,

    George

    Doesn't that make you wonder if there is any page they *wouldn't* pull if it were posted? As a test, how about the following?

    I ran the abstract through the word grammer check -- It reported a grade 12 level!!!!
     
  11. oxpecker

    That's presumably based on attributes such as the length of words and sentences used. Grade 12 level language would be fine for an abstract.

    But consider the following sentence:
    • Surveys indicate that a large percentage of tourists decided to stay home due to subjective sense of Insecurity while traveling outside of there homes even though airport security measures were at an all time high.
    Bah.

    Yeah, we know that Latin Americans aren't prone to civil unrest. It's not like their leaders were put in place by coups or anything.

    Just because Argentina loses wars doesn't mean they didn't participate in them.

    Hey guys,

    YOUR OFF COURSE! get back to the subject at hand SRU. Unfortunately, due to DNS problems on their end I can no longer go to their website without using their IP address. MY ISP suggests that I contact their webmaster to have them resolve the issue. I have this feeling that won't happen, since I am the one that cursed someone out from SRU :) that and called him a big fat hairy liar......

    Re: right on

    I never said that the US wasn't war mongering. The point was it isn't singular to the US.

    Please knock off the abusive language, it's not appreciated and doesn't make your point look any more intelligent.
