The "Featured Advisors & Professors" page at http://www.saintregisedu.org/professors.htm features just one: Richard J. Hoyer, former Chair of the Environmental and Safety Engineering Department at Kennedy-Western University. He also sells A College Degree In Your Spare Time (listing "20 Top Colleges and Universities ... selected from over 400 distance learning college programs"). The FAQs on the website for this book allow as how accreditation might be important and includes some fairly good advice on avoiding scams, including "Several diploma mills are cropping up outside of the United States to avoid regulatory agencies." (StRU is located in Dominica.)

StRU has copied Almeda's use of CafePress to sell t-shirts & such with the "school" insignia.
