There was nothing fake about the University.I attended the Ph.D. PROGRAM IN PSYCHOLOGY after achieving two Master's in the Connecticut State University system and became a nationally board certified school psychologist.My thesis was turned into a workbook,sold around the world in 1989 and still conrtinues to sell.You were assigned a advisor and it took me about a year to complete the program.At the time ,the program was accredited by the U.S.department of education.Because a school may have gone out of business,does not mean ,at one time ,it did not have legitimate programs.
Hi bob - You seem to have started a thread as a rant against someone who is dissing your school. Of course, no one was dissing your "school." I didn't find a Clayton University in my google search. I found a Clayton State University but I figured that if you actually meant "Clayton State" then you would have said "Clayton State" Plus, since Clayton State does not seem to offer ANY doctoral programs then I'm going out on a limb and suggesting that you are some out of control shill-like creature. If you want to post in the future then you'll need to have a little chat with me. If any of our members has relevant info on this topic I'd like to read it. Thanks
Yes, Clayton University of Clayton, Missouri. Operated as a distance learning school. Unaccredited, but at one time received listing by the USDoE in its catalog on the old 3x3 rule, now out of existence. Did some legitimate things, but some shady stuff, too, as was documented in the press at the time. The owner seems to have taken it all to Asia, leaving behind the academic stuff but keeping the diploma printing business running. Several threads on this school exist on this board. Do a search.
Since I am on my planning time at school, I would like to substantiate your facts. What is your name so that I might confirm your position as a nationally board certified school psychologist? I say this because "Vale" produces nary a result and the level of grammatical errors in your post makes me question its validity. Kindly,
The original poster has contacted us and sent the following messages (sic): So I think, when we combine the grammatical errors of the OP's postings with confirmation of the location of the school, we have, in fact, confirmed that it was the Clayton that Rich is referring to.
The "3 by 3" matter Rich refers to was a federal program, whereby if a college or university supplied proof that three of their graduates had their degrees accepted by three regionally-accredited schools (a total of nine acceptances), then that school qualified for the federal student loan program, and was listed in the Higher Education Directory. Later it was revised to become a "4 x 4" procedure, requiring a total of 16 acceptances. Clayton was one of very few non-religious schools to qualify for both the 3 x 3 and the 4 x 4 programs. They also listed doble-Nobel-laureate Linus Pauling as some sort of advisor to the school (and Pauling's office confirmed to me that this was correct). But then things went downhill very quickly. They closed in Clayton (a St. Louis suburb) Missouri rather suddenly. Then something called "Clayton University" surfaced in Louisiana, as one of half a dozen fakes run by Ray Chasse. Chasse claimed to be the heir to the Missouri Clayton, and indeed did have all their student records, and was selling their diplomas to people who assured him they had one from Missouri, but had lost it. And then, as Rich mentions, the Missouri Clayton's founder, Eugene Stone, began advertising Clayton from Hong Kong, and as best I could determine, it was then operating as a degree mill. I was never able to find out which four RA universities accepted at least 4 Clayton degrees each.
Kizmet, A defensive posture is unnecessary. I am merely trying to ascertain the validity of the post. Kindly,
