    Can anyone tell me why Dale Berne(Founder/Owner/President/Chairman)of Berne University has been fired from his University?I heard that he has nothing to do with Berne University.
     
  2. Interesting -- can you provide any info? Wherewhen did you hear of this?

    Dale Berne is indeed not listed on the faculty/administration page -- http://www.berne.edu/faculty.htm -- and the welcome letter is now signed by "Herbert T. Tilley, Provost."

    I wonder if a name change is in the works.

    Hrm... So should we refer to them as After-Berne?

    Or perhaps they have been Berned-out?

    Cheers!

    Someone else may have more details, but I vaguely remember something about Berne U. being sold a couple of years back and the new owners offering huge commissions (in the thousands of dollars) to people unethical enough to steer students to them.

    I also thought I remembered that there was an Eric Berne associated with them... in any case, this is an interesting development.

    Maybe he's a second-degree Berne?

    And their slogan,
    "Berne, baby, Berne"
    might have to go, too.

    Eric Berne was the "Games People Play" pop psychologist, but had nothing to do with Dale Berne and his son, who ran Berne from was a reporter called the 'two-room campus' in New Hampshire.

    Berne will be prominently featured in the posthumous edition of Bears' Guide, but you're just going to have to wait.

    I believe that Dr. Berne was still involved the last time I had looked at the web site (a few weeks ago). He was still listed. I looked again and all mention of him is wiped off. His son's name has disappeared as well. When I ran a yahoo search on the president of the Board, the name turned up in connection with University of Indiana (??).

    If anyone knows what is in the works please post it. I wonder if this has something to do with the seemingly Berne U. oriented postings by new posters with regard to international recognition of degrees, etc.

    Hmmmm!

    Berne.edu is still registered to Dale Berne. It is now associated with Web-Hed, which seems to me to be something new.

    It might all be coincidence, but Web-Hed of San Antonio Texas also hosts Maxine Asher's operation:

    Her WAUC: http://www.web-hed.com/wauc/

    Her Atlantis research activities: http://www.atlantisresearch.com/

    And her American World University:
    WHOIS information for awu.edu:
    Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, INC.   
    Organization: American World University address: 312 E. College Street #205 Iowa City 52240 USA  
    Admin contact: Gonzalez, Bill

    Actually, while the Berne Site has a little logo saying it was designed by Web Hed, the pages are not being stored on Web Hed servers. Atlantisresearch.com (207.193.63.7) and awu.edu (207.193.63.115) are on Web Hed servers, but berne.edu (205.219.188.150) is being stored on the servers of World Path/Internet in Farmington, New Hampshire, which at least chimes with Berne's ostensible New Hampshire location.
