Global University Alliance (GUA).

Anyone have any information on the GAU?

This is a consortium of RA universities:

Athabasca University
Auckland University of Technology
International Business School, Hogeschool Brabant
RMIT University
The George Washington University
University of Derby
University of Glamorgan
University of South Australia
University of Wisconsin Milwaukee

Their site Q&A says:

Does the GUA name appear on the certificate of accreditation?

Yes.

The Member University issues the award certificate of the program studied and the GUA as the organization that delivered the program.

 

If I am reading this right I think it would devalue to some degree the education received from these otherwise fine schools.

I can see having to explain to an employer that "Yes, I did go to University of South Australia, even through my sheepskin and transcripts say Global University Alliance."

Still digging through the site...
